Description of problem: The Fedora package of ghc-Cabal isn't visible to Haskell once installed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ghc-Cabal-1.14.0-11.fc19.x86_64 Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install ghc-Cabal 2. ghc-pkg list Actual results: Cabal does not appear in the output of `ghc-pkg list`: ``` [shivaram@good-fortune ~]$ rpm -q ghc-Cabal ghc-Cabal-1.14.0-11.fc19.x86_64 [shivaram@good-fortune ~]$ ghc-pkg list /usr/lib64/ghc-7.4.2/package.conf.d X11-1.6.0.2 X11-xft-0.3.1 array-0.4.0.0 base-4.5.1.0 bytestring-0.9.2.1 containers-0.4.2.1 deepseq-1.3.0.0 directory-1.1.0.2 extensible-exceptions-0.1.1.4 filepath-1.3.0.0 ghc-prim-0.2.0.0 integer-gmp-0.4.0.0 mtl-2.1.2 old-locale-1.0.0.4 old-time-1.1.0.0 process-1.1.0.1 random-1.0.1.1 rts-1.0 time-1.4 transformers-0.3.0.0 unix-2.5.1.1 utf8-string-0.3.7 xmonad-0.11 xmonad-contrib-0.11 ``` Expected results: Cabal should appear in the output. Additional info: No entry was created for Cabal in /usr/lib64/ghc-7.4.2/package.conf.d.
You need to install ghc-Cabal-devel to use the library in development (ghc-Cabal just provides the runtime shared library).
