Hi Daniel,
that seemed to be a real odyssey.
Still a lot short of ten years ;)
I will try to install the statistics package when I find time. Guess it is this one on hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/statistics.
Yes, version 0.8.0.5. I don't expect the version to matter much, but it could make a difference.
Just some remarks: In case of problems with metadata it is helpful to stop the GUI and call leksah-server from the command line. (leksah-server -s collects metainfo for new packages).
I ran $ leksah-server -e DEBUG -s to locate the problem, that reported that it couldn't retrieve metadata, then "inGhcIO called with []", Start: ("ghc", ["--print-libdir"]), success report (forgot how that was worded), End: ("ghc", ["--print-libdir"]). After that, no more, so I added some more debugM calls to the server code. Printing the package description, liftIO $ debugM "leksah-server" $ "Description: " ++ show pd deepseq pd (return pd) hung at Statistics.Function.partialSort, getting as far as dscMbTypeStr' = Just "
What happens then is that leksah-server calls GHC-API and Haddock as a library, which itself uses GHC-API. So its a bit like running Haddock on a package, which usually may fail, but it is uncommon to have this kind of problems. (It happened one time before with a type level library, which defined all integers between 1 and several thousands...).

PS: The server at leksah.org has reached its limit yesterday, the Windows installer alone was downloaded about 2000 times!
Awesome.
But it should work now.
Yup, can reach it again.
