Upstream ghc bug https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10473#ticket
rust-installer could possibly be defensive about this and run a sanity check that would catch it.
Upstream haskell-platform bug: https://github.com/haskell/haskell-platform/pull/137 There is a pull request there, but it hasn't been merged yet.
I wonder if it works the other way too, i.e. does having Rust installed prevent HP installation?
It seems both installers are doing something wrong...
@bananu7 Rust creates the destination directory before installing so should not cause this kind of problem in the other direction.
Well, rather, Rust's install script works quite a bit differently than Haskell Platform so they are hard to compare.
The patch has now been merged and the next Platform release (this month) will have the fix.
@flip111 reported this bizarre problem.
The problem is that
/usr/local/share/man/man1
is a symlink to a file:Apparently the haskell platform did this. I'm a little confused why.
