$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 0.10.2
using version 1.10.1.0 of the Cabal library

[I just did a cabal update cabal. Did not do anything as far as I can see]

$ uname -rv
2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Tue Mar 8 21:36:00 UTC 2011

$ cat /etc/debian_version
wheezy/sid

On a related note I find a lot of libghc6-something-or-other which are all
described as dummy packages.

Is Debian not the best system to play around with Haskell?
I gather gentoo is where the most haskell development happens...
