Description Michel Lind 2013-03-20 05:11:42 UTC
Description of problem:
I'm batch-generating spec files for the yesod-platform components that do not exist in our package database yet (using yum-builddep on the cabal-rpm-generated spec for yesod-platform itself), and it fails on the following three packages:

cipher-rc4
pureMD5
word8

All three of which have valid-looking pages on Hackage.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cabal-rpm-0.7.0-1.fc18.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cabal-rpm spec cipher-rc4
2. cabal-rpm spec pureMD5
3. cabal-rpm spec word8
  
Actual results:
cabal-rpm: cipher-rc4: getDirectoryContents: does not exist (No such file or directory)
cabal-rpm: pureMD5: getDirectoryContents: does not exist (No such file or directory)
cabal-rpm: word8: getDirectoryContents: does not exist (No such file or directory)


Expected results:
cabal-rpm should generate spec files for each

Thank you for reporting this.  Seems to be the number/digit in the package name.
I must be making some naughty assumption...

Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2013-03-22 05:27:26 UTC
I will fix this shortly in the next release: cabal-rpm-0.7.1

In the meantime a workaround is:

$ cabal unpack cipher-rc4
$ cblrpm spec cipher-rc4-*

etc
