When trying to install dev-haskell/ghc-6.6.1, dev-haskell/regex-base-0.72 is pulled in. ghc builds successfully, but regex-base fails complaining that cabal isn't installed. I see that cabal is in the list of packages to be emerged, but it seems to need to be emerged before regex-base. Reproducible: Always bingo regex-base # emerge -pk ghc These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Right, so to summarize: GHC 6.6.1 post depends on cabal and the regex-* packages. The regex-* packages *should* depend on cabal, using the haskell-cabal ebuild. Still, portage gets the ordering wrong. Unfortunately it seems the eclass is broken, or something else is going on. I'll have a look at it, thanks for reporting.
To me the deps look fine, and I cannot reproduce the bug. I install ghc-6.6.1, no problem. Uninstall the post deps, and tries to re-emerge, everything went fine. Could you please update your portage version, sync your tree and try again? Does the problem remain?
Yes. Same here: I did not have any haskel paket installed. I installed darc which pulled in ghc, cabal and regex-base (and other haskell pakets). I then started an emerge with all 3 packages and emerge emerged first ghc (WORKED), then regex-base (FAILED). Manually merging cabal, THEN regex-base: WORKED. So to me this means that there is clearly a problem of dependencies either in the paket(s) or in the way emerge interprets them.

Right, iirc emerge can be sensitive to which order you give the packages if you already have them installed. Also, the logs you posted tells you to run ghc-updater, did you?

Please > * run ghc-updater or re-emerge dev-haskell/cabal. If similar things will happen even after ghc-updater/haskell-updater run - don't hesitate to open another bug. Closing as INVALID.
