[Haskell-cafe] Re: [Haskell] ANNOUNCE: usb-0.1

Yes, that happens. I don't now the cause but the work-around is easy.
Simply download the package manually from hackage, unpack and install
using cabal.

At least the following packages suffer from this problem:
  bindings-common
  bindings-libusb
  bindings-posix

Perhaps Maurí­cio can shed some light on this.

Groetjes,
