Description David Gurvich 2007-11-21 07:27:53 UTC
There  seems to be a problem with haddock.  When I get haddock from darcs there is no problem with finding various ghc libraries.  The problem appears using ghc-6.8.1.  Simply unpacking haddock-0.8 and overwriting all files with those from darcs seems to work.

src/Main.hs:49:7:
    Could not find module `System.Directory':
      it is a member of package directory-1.0.0.0, which is hidden


Reproducible: Always

ghc-6.8.1 is not in portage, so this is not the best place to report such issues. 

ghc-6.8.1 is in the Haskell overlay. We are aware of these issues but it'll take a while to get all packages building with ghc-6.8.1. Almost all of them need a minor update due to issues like the one you identified.

Rest assured we will get ghc-6.8.1 into portage when it and the related packages are in a consistent state.
