Yes, it’s a know bug caused by ghc-6.8. So it’s actually not the darcs
version that matters, but the compiler version it is compiled with. The
“proper” solution is to get ghc-6.10 into backports.org, which I think
Marco attempted. I’m not sure what the state is, maybe he wanted to wait
for 6.12 to be released as it will be easer to bootstrap.

Greetings,
Joachim
