Description M. B. 2012-06-07 10:50:50 UTC

I upgraded ghc from 7.0.4 to 7.4.1 yesterday. After I ran haskell-updater --upgrade to migrate the haskell packages.

Sadly I don't have the exact errors anymore, but it was easy enough to figure out that 2 packages needed additional rebuild: dev-haskell/syb and dev-haskell/random.

Among the failed packages were from dev-haskell: happy, x11, x11-xft
from x11-wm: xmonad and xmonad-contrib.

I apologize if this is insufficient information.

Reproducible: Always

Yeah, it's a bit too little info.
