[Haskell-cafe] Re: ANN: Haddock version 2.2.1

[Christian Maeder]

http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/haddock-2.2.1
depends on ghc-paths
http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/ghc-paths-0.1.0.2
ghc-paths failed for me with:

Setup.hs:7:7:
     Could not find module `Distribution.Simple.PackageIndex':

I've ghc-6.8.3 and Cabal-1.2.4.0

Can haddock-2.2.1 replace may old haddock-0.8 (or haddock-0.9)?

Cheers Christian
