Package: libghc6-c2hs-dev
Version: 0.13.6-4
Severity: important

I just did a big upgrade, and libghc6-c2hs-dev failed:

    Preparing to replace libghc6-c2hs-dev 0.13.6-4 (using .../libghc6-c2hs-dev_0.13.6-4.1_i386.deb) ...
    /var/lib/dpkg/info/libghc6-c2hs-dev.prerm: line 22: ghc-pkg: command not found
    dpkg: warning - old pre-removal script returned error exit status 127
    dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...
    /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/prerm: line 25: ghc-pkg: command not found
    dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libghc6-c2hs-dev_0.13.6-4.1_i386.deb (--unpack):

    /var/lib/dpkg/info/libghc6-c2hs-dev.postinst: line 26: ghc-pkg: command not found
    dpkg: error while cleaning up:
     subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127

ghc-pkg is not available until ghc6 is finished configuring.  Thus, I
think that libghc6-c2hs-dev should pre-depend on ghc6.

Hi Andrew,

Sorry for the long delay and thanks for the extra information, it has
been useful. 

I have looked at the steps which are performed during the upgrade
following Debian Policy 6.6. The following steps happen during the
combined upgrade of ghc6 and libghc6-c2hs-dev:

Unpack ghc6 fase:
      * old-prerm upgrade 6.4.1-2.1
     - removes runhaskell, haskell-compiler and ghc alternative and all
       their slave alternatives including ghc-pkg. This removes 
       /usr/bin/ghc-pkg
      * new-preinst upgrade 6.4.1-2
    - does not exist, so noop
      * files are unpacked
      * old-postrm upgrade 6.4.1-2.1
    - does nothing in this case
      * old files are removed
      * ghc6 6.4.1-2.1 has status "unpacked"

Right now /usr/bin/ghc-pkg does not exists

Unpack libghc6-c2hs-dev: 
  * old-prerm upgrade 0.13.6-4.1
    - calls ghc-pkg unregister c2hs which is not available. 

So because ghc6 is being upgraded /usr/bin/ghc-pkg is not available and
the prerm script of libghc6-c2hs-dev fails. This can be fixed by
calling /usr/lib/ghc-6.4.1/bin/ghc-pkg or calling /usr/bin/ghc-pkg6 in
the prerm script. 

So the bug has been found. As libghc6-c2hs-dev is not available in
unstable anymore I am closing this bug.

Thanks for your help.

Greetings Arjan Oosting
