Description Michele Beltrame 2013-02-27 21:53:30 UTC

I installed app-text/pandoc 1.9.4.5 after unmasking it. Emerge asked for a lot of other keyword unmaskings including dev-lang/ghc-7.6.2, which I did.

I got compilation errors in the following ebuilds (ghc complained the version of the installed libs on which they depended was not right), so I had to unmask them as well.

They should probably be listed as a DEPEND with the correct version number, even though I didn't investigate if that should be done in app-text/pandoc or in a dependency of it.

These are the ebuild I had to unmask in order to have them compile correctly:

=dev-haskell/text-0.11.2.3 ~amd64
=dev-haskell/zip-archive-0.1.2.1-r2 ~amd64
=dev-haskell/cabal-1.14.0 ~amd64

Looking at the exact build failures would be nice.

There could be problems like:
- incorrect cabal constraints (build bug)
- broken library ABIs (fixable by haskell-updater, non-bug)
- had-to-comprehend subslot conflicts (portage's misfeature)
