Hello Albert,<br>
Thanks for taking the time to help me fix this package stuff. So I wiped<br>
out my package.conf.d/ and tried to reinstall my stuff. Installing<br>
template-haskell 2.5.0.0 is ok (2.6 is not, fails to compile on ghc<br>
7.0.3) but then:<br>
<br>
D:\projets\>ghc --make -package ghc main<br>
<command line>: cannot satisfy -package ghc<br>
(use -v for more information)<br>
<br>
I suspect I really *do* have to reinstall haskell-platform. Here is the<br>
output of ghc-pkg list -v:<br>

I don't know how you got to this unsafe state. But my article<br>
explains what's wrong with it. (Though my example has different<br>
version numbers on top of different ABI hashes).<br>
<br>
The user instance of template-haskell<br></div>
(__<u></u>87f4f416a22a910e480ac9f269479a<u></u>__5f) is getting into the way. Lose<div><br>
it by doing "ghc-pkg unregister --user template-haskell" on it. Oh,<br>
it will complain about breaking other packages; well, lose them too.<br>
<br>
(Or go one step further and lose all of C:\Documents and<br>
Settings\abailly\Application<br>
Data\ghc\i386-mingw32-7.0.3\__<u></u>package.conf.d which means losing all<br>
user packages.)<br>
<br>
(Reinstalling haskell platform changes nothing, as long as some user<br>
package gets into the way.)<br>

I clearly did not suggest getting rid of it.<br>

I only suggested getting rid of the user instance "ghc-pkg unregister --user template-haskell" and/or getting rid of "C:\Documents and Settings\abailly\Application Data\ghc\i386-mingw32-7.0.3\<u></u>package.conf.d" which are all just user instances, wouldn't lose global instances.<br>
<br>
I do not understand why you are so keen on replacing what comes with GHC and/or Haskell Platform. I have said several times that such replacements cause troubles.<br>
<br>
I give up. I am replying because I want to record that my suggestion would not lead to an important part of the current state.<div><div></div><div><br>
