GHC is out of date on hurd-i386, and as a result lhs2tex doesn't build

not correct: hurd-i386 is not a release architecture, so problems there
will not hold up a migration.

The reason why lhs2tex was not migrating because a RC bug was fixed in a
NMU version and that version was omitted in later changelogs, causing
the bts to think that the bug is still present. I closed this bug
yesterday (or so), and lhs2tex has migrated by now.

I’m closing this bug as the old hurd binary does not hurd^Ht.

Greetings,

I actually asked in #-release and they told me this was why; not the hurd binary per se, but the fact that it was holding an old source version in unstable:

08/07 11:25:30 <Laney> why is lhs2tex not mirgrating? Is 537018 not closed properly?
08/07 11:29:55 <Rhonda> Hmm, might it be the old 1.13-4 hurd version?
08/07 11:30:21 <adsb> Yeah. There certainly was an issue that don reckoned was debbugs not coping properly with multiple source versions in unstable 08/07 11:30:44 <adsb> and the hurd packages will be holding the old source in the archive 08/07 11:31:48 <Rhonda> Laney: Usually looking at the bug graph and the release markings in there gives hints along that lines :)
08/07 11:32:37 <Laney> I can't parse that graph :(
08/07 11:33:55 <adsb> The bug exists in all versions between 1.13-4 and 1.15-3, where both of those versions are currently in unstable 08/07 11:36:06 <Laney> Ah. So the solution is to remove the now unsupported hurd version?
08/07 11:36:16 <adsb> Yep
08/07 11:36:27 <Laney> right, thanks
08/07 11:36:56 <adsb> Well, preferably make it work on hurd :) I'm assuming that's not trivial though or it wouldn't be o-o-d
08/07 11:39:19 <jcristau> hurd has a quite old ghc
08/07 11:39:39 <azeem_> ghc is a beast
08/07 11:39:48 <jcristau> indeed
08/07 11:39:57 <azeem_> AFAIK, youpi tried to get it compiled, but it's really a problem

Thanks,
Iain
