[Haskell-cafe] Re: ANN: HSH 1.2.0

[Thomas Hartman]

Well, I guess I spoke to soon. After building ghc6 from feisty as
described above, I tried building missingh and have basically what I
started with.

Is there something I can tweak to get the above straightened out using
those nice deb packages, or do I have to do all the dependency chasing
involved with building from source? Or is there another way?

If this is too debian oriented please yell at me and I will ask about
this on a deb/ubuntu forum.

thanks...

Note, should have mentioned, after doing as my above post describes, I
installed all the newly generated deb packages with

dpkg -i *.deb

Note, selecting ghc6 instead of libghc6-network-dev
ghc6 is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  hat-ghc6: Depends: ghc6 (< 6.4.1+) but 6.6-3 is to be installed
  libghc6-cabal-dev: Depends: ghc6 (< 6.4.2) but 6.6-3 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).
