Description Daniel Walsh 2010-12-21 20:47:59 UTC 
/usr/share/doc/ghc/html/libraries/.pkg-dir.cache

/usr is supposed to be read only.  Any chance putting this in /var/lib/ghc and setting up a symbolic link?
Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2010-12-29 12:53:24 UTC 
We should probably move %_libdir/ghc-%version/package.conf.d/package.cache too.
Will also check to see what Debian does - I think they might be using /etc/ghc/.
Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2010-12-29 12:56:00 UTC 
Or maybe rpm install scripts are exempt?
Comment 3 Jens Petersen 2011-01-06 06:59:22 UTC 
This should be fixed in ghc-7.0.1-3.fc15.

Thanks for the report.
Comment 4 Jens Petersen 2011-02-06 23:47:13 UTC 
I believe this is fixed now for some time in rawhide.
Please reopen if there is still any problem.
