Summary: Missing requires on ghc-compiler
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 16
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: unspecified
          Priority: unspecified
         Component: cabal-install
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
         QAContact: [e-mail]
                CC: [e-mail], [e-mail]
    Classification: Fedora
      Story Points: ---
              Type: ---

Description of problem:
After installing cabal-install and trying to install a hackage with it:
# cabal install yeganesh
Config file path source is default config file.
Config file /root/.cabal/config not found.
Writing default configuration to /root/.cabal/config
cabal: The program ghc version >=6.4 is required but it could not be found.

I guess a Requires: ghc-compiler is missing in the spec.

Hi,
Can you provide some details here,
OS
version of cabal-install. Use rpmquery -i cabal-install
version of ghc (if installed). Use rpmquery -i ghc

Thanks,

I would have assumed filing this bug against F16 means I've tested this with
F16 stable packages, but OK. Here goes:
> rpm -q cabal-install ghc ghc-compiler

cabal-install-0.10.2-3.fc16.x86_64
ghc-7.0.4-31.3.fc16.x86_64
ghc-compiler-7.0.4-31.3.fc16.x86_64

Thanks,
Can you check whether ghc-ghc-devel package is installed?I think installing
that package that might solve this issue.

ghc-ghc-devel requires ghc-compiler so it of course fixes this bug, but for
cabal to run on my machine it doesn't need the rest of ghc-ghc-devel. It would
be like requiring whole KDE environment because you have an application that
required qt.

Hi Stanislav, sorry for the slow reply - I was away for a week.

Ok I guess I could bring back the ghc requires
dropping that was probably a bit too impractical.

The reason I dropped it was that I thought it would be
nice to support using local versions of ghc
without being forced to install all of fedora ghc
but I guess that is a bit of a corner use-case.

But you probably want haskell-platform anyway?

Alternatively a cabal-install-core subpackage could
be added perhaps without the ghc dependency.

This should be fixed first in cabal-install-0.10.2-5.fc17.

I plan to push a package to testing for f16 soon.

Frankly I just wanted to try out one haskell package (I ended up not using it
in the end). And on my way to compile/install it, I encountered this problem. I
assumed this was a non-deliberate thing (i.e. developer doesn't notice
dependency because he always has it installed). However you seem to have a use
case and there is no strict guideline about this, so it's up to you
