I just read through the Release notes for version 6.10.2 (see http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.10.2/html/users_guide/release-6-10-2.html), however, and noticed that the removal of the time package hadn't been documented there.

ghc-pkg check problem in 6.10.2
I just noticed that the new 'ghc-pkg check' feature exposes a silly mistake in the definition of the rts package that we ship with GHC 6.10.2: $ ghc-pkg check There are problems in package rts-1.0: include-dirs: PAPI_INCLUDE_DIR doesn't exist or isn't a directory ... To fix it, issue this command: $ ghc-pkg describe rts | sed 's/PAPI_INCLUDE_DIR//' | ghc-pkg update - and now "ghc-pkg check" should give no errors: $ ghc-pkg check $ (Except on Windows, where there also seems to be a problem with the Haddock package. Haddock itself is ok, but the Haddock library has some problems with its registration.)

The time package will be part of the first platform release (assuming we get enough volunteers to do the platform release!) In the mean time you can just: $ cabal install time Duncan ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
