Arch Linux

when trying to build with bauerbill, it complains a problem with dependency of parsec. Parsec version is 3.0.1, but haskell-pandoc requires < 3

The install file is out-of-date: gen_context_index resides at /usr/share/doc/ghc/html/libraries now.

Sorry, I flagged this out of date by mistake. At the moment it's up to date.

Request though: would it be possible to add a line "provides=(pandoc=${pkgver})" to this package? Then other packages wouldn't have to choose between depending on this package and depending on the pandoc package also in aur (which just has the binaries and shell scripts, without all the haskell libs and docs). If they want just the binaries, they can depend on "pandoc"; if they want everything, they can depend on "haskell-pandoc".

Is haskell-cabal still a dependency? GHC says it replaces haskell-cabaal<1.6.0.3.

Should the shell scripts in /usr/share/pandoc-1.2.1 (hsmarkdown, html2markdown, markdown2pdf) be moved to /usr/bin ?

Good news: I managed to resolve the error by re-installing all pandoc dependencies from scratch. Apparently, haskell-zip-archive caused the problem because it was linked to the older version of haskell-utf8-string. Anyway, pandoc installed successfully now. Thanks for all your efforts!

The build fails on x86 with the following error:

I have tried whether re-installing haskell-utf8-bytestring improves the situation, but it doesn't seem to.

@peti re. namcap, those are all required by the library pandoc installs, along with the pandoc executable itself.

haskell-time seems to be missing as a dependency. Also, namcap complains:

haskell-pandoc E: Dependency detected and not included (zlib) from files ['usr/bin/pandoc']
haskell-pandoc E: Dependency detected and not included (gmp) from files ['usr/bin/pandoc']
haskell-pandoc W: Dependency included and not needed (ghc)
haskell-pandoc W: Dependency included and not needed (haskell-cabal)
haskell-pandoc W: Dependency included and not needed (haskell-utf8-string)
haskell-pandoc W: Dependency included and not needed (haskell-zip-archive)
haskell-pandoc W: Dependency included and not needed (haskell-time)

This package should conflict with pandoc from community.
