Well basically, I haven't update my Haskell libraries for some time now (around a month) so when I finally got around to updating my Haskell packages (which are installed through Archlinux's AUR) my GHC installation broke (again). This has been happening for some time now (I have been having this problem for around a year)
Basically it occurs when pacman updates a package using an AUR package, which cabal refuses to install because it can break other packages (yet the package still gets installed according to pacman). So this means I have to manually go through /usr/lib/ghc-6.12.3/package.conf.d and manually updating all the package hashes while doing some manual dependency tracking through ghc-check This honestly starting to become annoying, is there any ideas or plans on how to resolve this issue. The end user shouldn't have to be dealing with this, and if installing a package can break the system, it shouldn't be 'semi' installed in the first place
