[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#570881: Bug#570881: haskelldb: FTBFS: hGetContents: invalid argument

[Marco Túlio Gontijo e Silva]

Hi Cyril.

Thanks for your reports.

Excerpts from Cyril Brulebois's message of Dom Fev 21 21:22:13 -0300 2010:
(...)
> your package FTBFS on a bunch of archs (at least amd64 and kfreebsd-*):

> | HsColour: src/Database/HaskellDB.hs: hGetContents: invalid argument (Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character)

In this page it seems that the error was:

HsColour: src/Database/HaskellDB.hs: hGetContents: invalid argument (invalid UTF-8 byte sequence)

I thought that the upgrade of hscolour to 0.16 would fix all these errors,
because it has fixed for me in agda in i386.  It was not building with 0.15-2
and it built with 0.16-1.

I think it may be the case that the error message shown by Cyril was the error
message with hscolour 0.15-2, and this one is with 0.16-1.  Maybe 0.16-1 fixes
that issue, but leaves this one to fix.

Greetings.
