Bug#535967: Inconsistent state after removal.
Package: haskell-devscripts
Version: 0.6.15+nmu11
Severity: normal
Hello.
I built network from hackage and installed with --user
--prefix=$HOME/.cabal. Then, I tried to remove libghc6-parsec3-dev,
which is a dependency of my home built network. So I got this message:
ghc-pkg: unregistering parsec-3.0.0 would break the following packages:
network-2.2.1.3 (use --force to override)
but the package was removed nicely. So I tried to build network again,
and I got:
Preprocessing library network-2.2.1.3...
Building network-2.2.1.3...
Network/URI.hs:108:7:
Could not find module `Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec':
There are files missing in the `parsec-3.0.0' package,
try running 'ghc-pkg check'.
Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
I think this is a bug in our prerm script. But I'm not sure what's the best
way to fix it. If we use --force, the user installed package will become
inconsistent. The other option is to exit with error in the prerm script in
such cases, but I'm not sure is a good option either.
What do you think?
Greetings.
