Broken Packages (and Maintainers) for poppler, hsc2hs

All, Sorry if I'm a bit bitter - just ran into breakage of poppler, hsc2hs, and zlib in a 20 minute stretch. If the maintainers are here: 1) Please set a proper e-mail address (one that isn't a protected ML). 2) Please at least make sure the installation works (or the file at least parses!) via cabal-install. Cheers, Thomas

Also, please also re-release your packages when you have made obvious fixes (build fixes for ghc-7.4 for example) in your repositories.
Ran into breakage for zlib, gtk2hs and a few more that have been fixed already in git/darcs/etc and when building from hackage result in lots of errors. Trying newer ghc would be a much better experience for everyone ! -- Vincent
