[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#666359: haskell-cabal-install: FTBFS: missing dependencies

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Source: haskell-cabal-install
Version: 0.10.2-3
Severity: serious
Tags: wheezy sid
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: qa-ftbfs-20120330 qa-ftbfs qa-ftbfs-buildarch
Justification: FTBFS on amd64

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on
amd64.

This rebuild was done by building only architecture:any binary packages
(binary-arch target of debian/rules), and using a recent dpkg that uses the
build-arch target if available.
Also, only the Build-Depends were installed, not the Build-Depends-Indep.

Relevant part:

> test -x debian/rules
> mkdir -p "."

> if test ! -e Setup.lhs -a ! -e Setup.hs; then echo "No setup script found!"; exit 1; fi
> for setup in Setup.lhs Setup.hs; do if test -e $setup; then ghc --make $setup -o debian/hlibrary.setup; exit 0; fi; done

About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on about 50 AMD64 nodes
of the Grid'5000 platform, using a clean chroot.  Internet was not
accessible from the build systems.
