How do ghc users on Linux (esp. Debian/Ubuntu) systems remove packages?
I uninstall the system package I used to install that package. However, this doesn't work for cabal-install...
AFAICT there's only cabal unregister,
Do you mean "ghc-pkg unregister"?
and no way to remove files but manually, which is tricky when these packages are interspersed with other files in /usr/local. I found some old mailing list threads mentioning that this is an open issue, but as I'm currently facing this, I'm wondering if there's been any news on this front.
Nope. Maybe using something like stow with this if you're installing it into /usr/local anyway... -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
