Package: haskell-devscripts Severity: important haskell-devscripts is unable to parse the CABAL_VERSION out of some .cabal files. This is only recently a problem because prior to the recent perl changes, builds would not fail if CABAL_VERSION was empty. An example of a package where the .cabal file cannot be parsed is haskell-base-prelude. This results in an error such as this:
> dh_haskell_install_haddock --package=libghc-base-prelude-doc > --source-dir="debian/tmp-inst-ghc" > Need CABAL_VERSION to install HTML documentation. at > /usr/bin/dh_haskell_install_haddock line 46. > make: *** [/usr/share/cdbs/1/class/hlibrary.mk:188: > install/libghc-base-prelude-doc] Error 25 haskell-devscripts should be updated to perform parsing of the .cabal file more reliably.
