Description

I hit something like this during the 7.8.4 upgrade. Somehow I wound up with two copies of dev-haskell/nats registered under /usr/lib/ghc-7.8.4, and rebuilding its reverse dependencies would always check the old busted copy and die. The way I got around it was crude: ultimately I uninstalled every haskell package, and then did rm -rf /usr/lib/ghc-* to kill the leftover package databases (I had stuff going back to the 6.x days). Can you post the output of, $ ghc-pkg list -v and $ ghc-pkg check please? If any of the entries in the list are red, can you put an asterisk or something next to them?

ghc-pkg check output
(In reply to Helmut Jarausch from comment #3) > Created attachment 393082 [details] > ghc-pkg check output Please, show your output of 'haskell-updater -l'. From your build log,
setup: The following installed packages are broken because other packages
they depend on are missing. These broken packages must be rebuilt before
they can be used.
package aeson-0.8.0.2 is broken due to missing package
unordered-containers-0.2.5.1-cf128ab54a2db02026e21a9f368429d2
And from the `ghc-pkg list` output, you've got two "versions" of unordered-containers registered with GHC:
unordered-containers-0.2.5.1-afc67b0011b3d92eaca88156b1376034
unordered-containers-0.2.5.1-f27abfd87dc652f726481246efccd251
Interestingly, neither of them has the hash "cf128ab54a2db02026e21a9f368429d2" that aeson wants.
You can try to re-emerge just aeson and unordered containers -- maybe you will get lucky. But probably not, if `haskell-updater --all` isn't working.
I'm far from an expert on this, but I don't think you should have so many duplicated packages (of the same version) registered with GHC. Maybe there is/was a bug that could leave orphan entries in the registry. I will ask if anyone knows of a more elegant solution, but the nuke-it-from-outer-space approach is what worked for me.
The GHC package database (everything you see in `ghc-pkg list`) is stored under /usr/lib/ghc-${PV}, so if you uninstall your haskell packages and GHC and remove that directory, you'll be starting with a fresh package database.

Yeah, our current upgrade path is a bit bumpy. You would only need to manually remove non-managed .conf files reported by: qfile -o $(ghc --print-libdir)/package.conf.d/*.conf The rest haskell-updater can clean up by itself. h-u-1.2.7 alredy shows orphan files, but I was hesitant of removing them automatically as user might have installed something manually (messy affair, but legitimate). Current eclasses won't create orphan .conf files anymore.
