Public bug reported:
Hi,
when trying to get EclipseFP running I encountered some strange compile
errors and decided to purge the ghc package and reinstall it afterwards
using
sudo apt-get purge g++-4.6 libbsd-dev libffi-dev libgmp-dev libstdc++6-4.6-dev
cabal-install ghc ghc-prof libstdc++-4.8-dev
sudo apt-get install ghc
This resulted in a lot of error messages like the following:
Setting up ghc (7.6.3-4) ...
update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/runghc to provide /usr/bin/runhaskell
(runhaskell) in auto mode
update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/ghc to provide /usr/bin/haskell-compiler
(haskell-compiler) in auto mode
There are problems in package pandoc-types-1.10:
Warning: library-dirs: /home/user/.cabal/lib/pandoc-types-1.10/ghc-7.6.3
doesn't exist or isn't a directory

There are problems in package hs-bibutils-5.0:
Warning: library-dirs: /home/user/.cabal/lib/hs-bibutils-5.0/ghc-7.6.3

The following packages are broken, either because they have a problem
listed above, or because they depend on a broken package.
pandoc-types-1.10
hs-bibutils-5.0
[...]
`/home/user` is the home directory of the user running the `sudo apt-get`
command. I had removed the .cabal directory before in an attempt to remedy my
previous compile problems but appearantly there where still references to it in
the `/home/user/.ghc` directory. For example
`/home/user/.ghc/x86_64-linux-7.6.3/package.conf.d/ghc-paths-0.1.0.9-33cf158d45e15d2ea66fe4694a916f3a.conf`
contains:
import-dirs: /home/user/.cabal/lib/ghc-paths-0.1.0.9/ghc-7.6.3
library-dirs: /home/user/.cabal/lib/ghc-paths-0.1.0.9/ghc-7.6.3
Once I removed the .ghc directory or ran the command in a root shell
(`sudo su`) the installation of the package ran through without any
errors. So appearantly the package installation uses some of the local
data of the user performing the installation command.
