New to haskell and having issues resolving packages, have the following output below and can't seem to resolve it.
Text seems to have diff hash dependancies when I try and instal a diff version of 0.11.2.0 etc
Any ideas on what todo ??
Thanks
$ ghc-pkg check There are problems in package scion-browser-0.2.8: dependency "text-0.11.2.0-2b6cea8526e93af24bb0154400fd64a6" doesn't exist [etc]
See my http://www.vex.net/~trebla/haskell/sicp.xhtml for the significance of the hash value and more ways to break things. My article mostly doesn't say how to fix things (partly because there are many factors: problem details, self-inflicted constraints aka personal preferences). But knowing how GHC packages work may help you devise your tailored solution. Well, I suppose there is always the sledgehammer of erasing everything: erase $HOME/.ghc, erase GHC. (Again, see my article for why erasing $HOME/.cabal solves absolutely no problem.)
