gtk2hs-0.10.1 builds fine but I have to downgrade because of bug 283843
Which haddock version are you using? Try to (re)install haddock-2.4.1. Whenever you change ghc you should also recompile your haddock.
rebuild of haddock-2.4.1 didn't help - same error message
Ok, then I'm afraid gtk2hs can't be built with that haddock. If you really want the docs, try downgrading, otherwise emerge with USE=-doc. The best solution is if we could fix himerge to work with gtk2hs-0.10.1. We would prefer not to spend time fixing older packages when the new ones work.
Switching docs off obviously works for me, you need to understand that people unfamiliar with haskell toolchain woudn't know that haddock is related to making docs. Anyway I'd mark it WONTFIX, right?
Yeah, right you are. Package is masked to 30 day removal. Please, consider using these instead: dev-haskell/pango-0.12 dev-haskell/cairo-0.12 dev-haskell/glib-0.12 dev-haskell/cairo-0.12 dev-haskell/glade-0.12 dev-haskell/gtk-0.12
