• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

For some reason I had to start the darcs emerge 2 times to get regex posix:

The only difference between the two runs was that in the second I emerged with LC_ALL=C to get english error messages. 

Reproducible: Always

I suspect your emerge process (not so) silently upgraded ghc and broke all installed .cabal packages.

Closing at INVALID.

Please reopen the bug if I'm mistaken.

Immediately after ghc upgrade user has to run ghc-updater/haskell-updater by hands to get nonbroken haskell system.

Currently there is no way to stop portage from emerging stuff and give user a change to start ghc-updater/haskell-updater. At least I don't know such thing.
