Description Radoslaw Szkodzinski 2006-09-15 06:13:20 UTC 
ghc-package.eclass launches best_version with an unspecified name on line 66:
cabalpackage="$(best_version cabal)"

Should be:
cabalpackage="$(best_version dev-haskell/cabal)"

The previous version will break if someone introduces a virtual or another package of that name.

(also - it breaks paludis)

Ok, fixed in the official haskell overlay. It'll make its way into portage cvs from there.
Comment 2 Andres Loeh (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-10-04 10:46:43 UTC 
Finally in portage. Thanks for the report.
