[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#738183: ghc: fails to install: ghc-pkg: missing --global-package-db option, location of global package database unknown

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: ghc
Version: 7.8.20140130-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Selecting previously unselected package ghc.
  (Reading database ... 8111 files and directories currently installed.)
  Preparing to unpack .../ghc_7.8.20140130-1_amd64.deb ...
  Unpacking ghc (7.8.20140130-1) ...
  Setting up ghc (7.8.20140130-1) ...
  ghc: missing -B<dir> option
  update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/ghc to provide /usr/bin/haskell-compiler (haskell-compiler) in auto mode
  ghc-pkg: missing --global-package-db option, location of global package database unknown
  
  dpkg: error processing package ghc (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   ghc


cheers,

Andreas
