To the contrary, fftw2 depends on libmpich1.0c2, which depends on libg2c0,
which depends on gcc-3.4-base, on this end-user machine.

Bug#315706: libghc6-missingpy-dev: fails to configure, with libghc6-missingh-dev 0.11.2

2005-06-25 Thread Roger L Hale
By the way, another aspect of this bug has surfaced when I tried to
remove the package:

$ sudo dpkg --purge --force-all libghc6-missingpy-dev
(Reading database ... 215333 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing libghc6-missingpy-dev ...
ghc-pkg: cannot find package MissingPy
dpkg: error processing libghc6-missingpy-dev (--purge):
 subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
 Errors were encountered while processing:
  libghc6-missingpy-dev

Because installation failed and left the package half-configured, the
.prerm runs and fails this way.  This happens for removing, purging, or
(judging by the code) upgrading, so every path forward is blocked.
Looks like I will need to do a bit of surgery.

Will it be safe to comment out the ghc-pkg line in .prerm, and try
again?  I expect that, on my try at installation, ghc-pkg did not end up 
doing anything that needs to be undone, but I would like your
confirmation first.  Or do you have a pointer to a document for ghc-pkg?

(Another bug: no man page for ghc-pkg.  I'll file one for it.)

Regards,
 Roger Hale

Bug#315706: libghc6-missingpy-dev: fails to configure, with libghc6-missingh-dev 0.11.2

2005-06-25 Thread Roger L Hale
Subject: libghc6-missingpy-dev: fails to configure, with libghc6-missingh-dev 
0.11.2
Package: libghc6-missingpy-dev
Version: 0.2.0
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Tags: experimental


This package Depends: on libghc6-missingh-dev (>= 0.11.0), which
libghc6-missingh-dev 0.11.2 satisfies.

However, from libghc6-missingpy-dev's postinst, its CONFIGFILE
/usr/lib/haskell-packages/ghc6/lib/MissingPy-0.2.0/installed-pkg-config
has a depends: on MissingH-0.11.0, which -missingh- 0.11.2 fails to
satisfy, and ghc-pkg and the postinst fail.

Output from aptitude run installing libghc6-missingpy-dev:
--
Setting up libghc6-missingpy-dev (0.2.0) ...
Reading package info from stdin... done.
ghc-pkg: dependency MissingH-0.11.0 doesn't exist
dpkg: error processing libghc6-missingpy-dev (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
 
>From apt-cache show libghc6-missingpy-dev:
--
Depends: ghc6 (>= 6.4), ghc6 (<< 6.4-999), python-dev (>= 2.3.3), python-dev 
(<< 2.4), libghc6-missingh-dev (>= 0.11.0)

>From /usr/lib/haskell-packages/ghc6/lib/MissingPy-0.2.0/installed-pkg-config:
-
depends: haskell-src-1.0 MissingH-0.11.0


It looks like several binary files in .../lib/MissingPy-0.2.0 also refer to 
MissingH-0.11.0, so a simple edit of installed-pkg-config would be
insufficient, so I don't have a patch to send in.  Should -missingh- get
installed as MissingH-0.11 instead of -0.11.x, so a Depends: on (>=
0.11.0), (<< 0.12) could work?  Otherwise it seems like every new
version of -missingh- would demand a new version of -missingpy-.
Admittedly I haven't looked into ghc's package naming scheme, so I don't
know what's possible here.

It looks like nobody else has tried to install -missingpy- since -missingh-
0.11.1, or they would have run into this problem already...
