[Haskell-cafe] apt-get install haskell-platform fails on ubuntu 14.04

[Dario Bertini]

On Ubuntu I usually rely on hvr's ppa to install ghc and cabal

https://launchpad.net/~hvr/+archive/ubuntu/ghc

and then I'd use stackage to have a set of libraries you can rely on install

http://www.stackage.org/lts

sorry if this is a non-answer, anyhow if your error is the same as on
that askubuntu question it seems unrelated to Haskell, have you tried
`apt-get install -f` like mentioned in the comment?
