Using Debian testing with the ghc6-doc package installed (version 6.4-3)... (I was missing docs)
It looks to me like this isn't the version from "testing" fwiw, but the version from "unstable"... try upgrading to the new version (maybe Ian can say whether there's any fix between -3 and -4).
Thanks, you are right. Since I had to get 6.4 manually (testing is still stuck way back at 6.2), I forgot that I do not get upgrades automatically.
...did you get this -doc package from the Haskell Unsafe repository... ?
Oooh, nice! I didn't know about this. So now I can indeed get automatic updates. It looks like there is nothing interesting there in testing, though. So I guess I want unstable. For the benefit of other Debian users, Google took me here: http://haskell-unsafe.alioth.debian.org/haskell-unsafe.html where I found the following lines to add to my /etc/apt/sources.list file: deb http://haskell-unsafe.alioth.debian.org/archive/i386 . unstable deb-src http://haskell-unsafe.alioth.debian.org/archive/i386 . unstable If you are using Debian stable, and you want the not-quite-as-old Haskell packages from testing, change "unstable" to "stable" in the above lines.
