apt-get install haskell-platform fails on ubuntu 14.04
http://askubuntu.com/questions/597278/haskell-platform-unmet-dependencies I'm installing on a newly-built system. I looked at the haskell.org download instructions, and I couldn't find anything that made sense. apt-get install haskell-platform worked about a month ago. Does anyone know what happened?
As of this morning the haksell.org site does point one to the haskell platform install instructions. Those instructions point one to a community ubuntu package that will supposedly install a 2013 version of the platform... not good. In any case, the link below describes in detail the failure I'm getting. I hope and trust that apt-get install haskell-platform is still the preferred way to install?

On Ubuntu I usually rely on hvr's ppa to install ghc and cabal https://launchpad.net/~hvr/+archive/ubuntu/ghc and then I'd use stackage to have a set of libraries you can rely on install http://www.stackage.org/lts sorry if this is a non-answer, anyhow if your error is the same as on that askubuntu question it seems unrelated to Haskell, have you tried `apt-get install -f` like mentioned in the comment?
Firstly, thanks to all who helped.
apt-get install -f doesn't help. I solved the problem using the answer in
this link:

which is to do
sudo apt-get install libglew-dev libcheese7 libcheese-gtk23
libclutter-gst-2.0-0 libcogl15 libclutter-gtk-1.0-0 libclutter-1.0-0
