Bug Description

Binary package hint: ghc6

An alternative is broken :

/etc/alternatives# find . | xargs file | grep broken | grep ghc

./stat2resid: broken symbolic link to `/usr/lib/ghc-6.6.1/bin/stat2resid'

and it is only invoked in

grep stat2resid /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.postinst

/var/lib/dpkg/info/ghc6.postinst: --slave $execdir/stat2resid stat2resid $bindir/stat2resid \

So, something is wrong there ...

By the way, removing ghc6, removes also the broken alternative

Cheers

Hi,

thanks for reporting this bug. It has been fixed in the new ghc6.8.2 in hardy already. Also upgrading to hardy will ensure that the broken symlink in alternatives will get removed.

Hence I'm marking this bug as Fix Released.

Please reopen this bug, if an upgrade to hardy will not remove the broken link.

Cheers,
     Stefan.
