libghc6-hgl-dev won't install on hardy

Do the following:

1. Open register.sh file in the /usr/lib/libghc6-hgl-dev directory, for example in terminal

"sudo nano /usr/lib/libghc6-hgl-dev/register.sh"

2. Look for the line

"depends: base-3.0.1.0 array-0.1.0.0 X11-1.3.0"

and simply change the X11-1.3.0 to your version of X11 bindings for haskell (you can get this by writing in terminal "ghc-pkg list X11")

3. Save the file and execute it in terminal: "sudo bash regsiter.sh"

This should fix the problem.

Sorry for not using my Polish :) Perhaps some english speaking users encountered same problem.

Well, package does install now, but it is not working properly.
I think this is an X11 version mismatch issue.

Loading package array-0.1.0.0 ... linking ... done.
Loading package X11-1.4.1 ... linking ... done.
Loading package HGL-3.2.0.0 ... linking ... <interactive>: /usr/lib/HGL-3.2.0.0/ghc-6.8.2/HSH own symbol `__stginit_X11zm1zi3zi0_GraphicsziX11ziXlib_'
ghc-6.8.2: unable to load package `HGL-3.2.0.0'

I had an automated 'crash report' that sent me here. I don't have details other than the auto install failed.

Same problem, Tomasz trick worked for me.

package installs but it is of no use! I get following error

bash$: runhaskell sierpinski.hs

same problem here, tried Tomasz trick and get this:

I get the same problem.

Ack from motu-sru for Hardy.

Already fixed in Intrepid.

Version 3.2.0.0-1ubuntu0.1 uploaded to hardy-proposed.

Accepted into -proposed, please test and give feedback here. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

reopened as result of a retest since the issue has not gone away

The update has failed repeatedly with error message:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libghc6-hgl-dev_3.2.0.0-1ubuntu0.1_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

Please advice which information I shall collect and upload to help resolving the issue.

Regards

Erich

Package installs fine in Intrepid, I'll have a look at Hardy version.

Erich, your issue shows up only when upgrading from 3.2.0.0-1 to 3.2.0.0-1ubuntu0.1, installing version in hardy-proposed ex-novo is fine. Here's a workaround to help you upgrading to 3.2.0.0-1ubuntu0.1:

1) Open /var/lib/dpkg/info/libghc6-hgl-dev.prerm with your favourite editor (with root privileges)
2) Comment (or delete) this line: "/usr/lib/libghc6-hgl-dev/unregister.sh"
3) Save the file and exit from your editor
4) (Re)install libghc6-hgl-dev 3.2.0.0-1ubuntu0.1

Do you still notice the problem?

I could install the package using the workaround.

Thank you.

Regards

Erich

Erich, thanks for your feedback!

I'm able to install packages too, eventually using the above workaround if packages from hardy-release were already installed. Marking as verification-done.

I still get the problem.

Robert, could you please try with "sudo apt-get --purge remove libghc6-hgl-dev" instead and re-install it?
