Hello, I encountered the same kind of problems with the dependencies, GHC 6.12 etc. I dropped the idea of installing Haskell Platform with synaptic. I installed it manually and I don't have any problem since then. I installed first a precompiled binary version GHC 7 then the Haskell Platform 2011. It takes more time (about 2 hours on my case), but you are sure to have the lastest version of GHC and Haskell Platform. I had to assign some symlinks manually, but it took me 5 min.

Hi, I am trying to install Haskell Platform on latest Ubuntu desktop: ( uname -a: Linux frigate 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux )
I started with installing GHC. Ubuntu could only install version 6.12.3: without Cabal! Now I am trying to install haskell-platform which is a separate package. Ubuntu suggests to insatll version 2010.1.0.0.1 and fails (see bellow). What sould I do now to get GHC + Cabal? Should I: 1) De-insatll GHC 6.12.3 and all related libraries and try then installing Haskell Platform again? 2) Should I install Caball separately and forget about Haskell Platform? 3) Provide somehow for two different installations?
Thanks!
