severity 429708 serious thanks So I've just had the same problem again.
The dfsbuild_1.0.1 build failed, see: http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=dfsbuild;ver=1.0.1;arch=amd64;stamp=1184260205 I start with something like this: iF libghc6-hsh-dev 1.2.3 Library to mix shell scripting with Haskell And then try to remove libghc6-hsh-dev, and get: # apt-get remove libghc6-hsh-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: libghc6-missingh-dev libghc6-hslogger-dev Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
