Package: ghc Version: 7.10.3-6 Severity: normal Hello,
stable binutils do not understand objects installed as part of testing haskell libraries. As many haskell libraries do not seem to be compiled for stable it is likely that installing a haskell library pulls testing ghc on a stable system. /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/haskell-packages/ghc/lib/i386-linux-ghc-7.10.3/X11-1.6.1.2-LN1z6AJRA5dI5d2mzKRchU/libHSX11-1.6.1.2-LN1z6AJRA5dI5d2mzKRchU.a(XUtils.o): unrecognized relocation (0x2b) in section `.text' /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status ghc: user error (If you can read this, shutdownHaskellAndExit did not exit.) ii binutils 2.25-5 i386 GNU assembler, linker and binary utilities -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (900, 'stable'), (510, 'unstable'), (505, 'experimental'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: armhf (armv7l) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.5.0-rc1-00069-g44cb9f7 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages ghc depends on: ii dpkg 1.17.26 ii gcc 4:4.9.2-2 ii libbsd-dev 0.7.0-2 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u2 ii libc6-dev 2.19-18+deb8u2 ii libffi-dev 3.1-2+b2 ii libffi6 3.1-2+b2 ii libgmp-dev 2:6.0.0+dfsg-6 ii libgmp10 2:6.0.0+dfsg-6 ii libncurses5-dev 6.0+20151024-2 ii libtinfo5 6.0+20151024-2 ghc recommends no packages.
