[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#664623: libghc-unixutils-dev is not installable

[Andreas Tille]

Package: libghc-unixutils-dev
Severity: grave
Tags: sid
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

I hope the following says it all:

$ sudo apt-get -t unstable install libghc-unixutils-dev libghc-base-dev libghc-directory-dev libghc-unix-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'ghc' instead of 'libghc-base-dev'
Note, selecting 'ghc' instead of 'libghc-directory-dev'
Note, selecting 'ghc' instead of 'libghc-unix-dev'
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libghc-unixutils-dev : Depends: libghc-base-dev-4.5.0.0-6db96 but it is not installable
                        Depends: libghc-directory-dev-1.1.0.2-07820 but it is not installable
                        Depends: libghc-unix-dev-2.5.1.0-da253 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages


I have totally no knowledge of Haskell but when trying to fix #663889 I
went into this problem.  My gut feeling after applying the patch
suggested by Tim Booth which did not solved the problem was to try
installing libghc-unixutils-dev which could possibly provide a System
module but I even failed installing it.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
