[Haskell-cafe] hackage build errors

[Keith Sheppard]

Hello Cafe,

I noticed on my package's hackage page there is a build failure message:
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/txt-sushi

I don't know if these are real errors or not (I don't experience them
on OS X and it's pure Haskell code) but I did poke around and noticed
that some popular packages on hackage also have build failures:

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/haddock
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/pandoc
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/alex
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hlint
...

so what should I make of these errors? Are they useful in some way or
just a problem with the build environment? (If that's the case I think
they should probably be removed since they're confusing for potential
users)

Best
Keith
