Yes and no... I pulled ghc-6.12.1-6 from updates-testing
since it was not necessary.  If you uninstall -6 and
and install -5 you should be fine.  Sorry about that.

It is a little confusing: ghc is the base package.
ghc-ghc is the ghc internals library.

If you are just starting probably just ghc and ghc-prof
(plus deps) is enough for you. Or better install
haskell-platform\*.

If you want to play with cabal-install etc, I would recommend doing:
"yum install ghc\*" too.

Hope that helps.
