ghc and the hs-packages now simply include the necessary (haskell)
package description files in lib/ghc/package.conf.d and update the
package.cache by running ghc-pkg recache at the end. register and
unregister scripts are no longer needed.
stop other people wasting time on updates which should not be done.
ian@ ran into this (while working on devel/hs-aeson and
textproc/hs-attoparsec), and even I didn't notice before trying to
build all Haskell ports (including meta/haskell-platform) with his
diffs.
and the line with the unregister.sh script down to the bottom of
the plist. Silences all the blurb about ".../*.haddock doesn't exist
or isn't a file."
for unregister.sh in all the new ghc libraries (which leads to bogus
registered ghc packages after updates).
You can use the command
ghc-pkg check
to check ghcs internal package list. If it reports missing files
for some package (like hashed-storage-0.4.11), you can forcibly
unregister it by running (as root) something like
ghc-pkg unregister hashed-storage-0.4.11
