Bug#968446: file:///usr/share/doc/ghc-doc/html/libraries/index.html missing all base libraries

[Joey Hess]

Package: ghc-doc
Version: 8.8.4-1
Severity: normal

After the fix for #966069, the page seems to have docs for all
libraries, except for the ones in base. Ie, Prelude, Foreign,
Control.Concurrent are all missing.

This involves ghc-pkg --global outputting this:

base
4.13.0.0
/usr/share/doc/ghc-doc/html/libraries/base-4.13.0.0/base.haddock
/usr/share/doc/ghc-doc/html/libraries/base-4.13.0.0

But /usr/share/doc/ghc-doc/html/libraries/base-4.13.0.0/base.haddock
does not exist. The actual location is 
/usr/lib/ghc-doc/haddock/ghc/base-4.13.0.0/base.haddock
And so /usr/lib/ghc-doc/gen_contents_index skips it.

The easiest fix might be to move or symlink that file. (I've done the
latter and it works.)
