Bug#433001: libghc6-mtl-dev: package unusable; installatio..

Norman Ramsey · External Since: Mar 23, 2005 Posts: 37

Package: libghc6-mtl-dev
Version: 1.0.1-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

This package installs files into the wrong directories.
Most of what goes into /usr/lib/mtl-1.0.1/ghc-6.6.1 needs to go into
/usr/lib/ghc-6.6.1/imports instead. The .a file needs to go into /usr/lib/ghc-6.6.1.

Followup: I seemed to have fixed the problem by changing the
configuration step in the debian/rules for the build-stamp target:

./setup-ghc configure --ghc --with-compiler=$(GHC)
--prefix=/usr
--datadir=/usr/share/doc/ghc6-doc/html/cabal_libraries
--datasubdir=$(CABAL_PACKAGE) --libsubdir=ghc-6.6.1
$(CONFIGURE_OPTS)

Hi Norman,

What exactly goes wrong?

The files are supposed to go into /usr/lib/mtl-1.0.1/ghc-6.6.1 and the
/usr/lib/libghc6-mtl-dev/register.sh script then contains things like

import-dirs: /usr/lib/mtl-1.0.1/ghc-6.6.1
library-dirs: /usr/lib/mtl-1.0.1/ghc-6.6.1

to tell GHC where they are.

Thanks
Ian
