i guess it could have the same reason, but i cannot see a problem in the cabal file;
i attach it (it is from hackage, with a minimal change in the version number)

thanks for the very good compiler!

Hi,

Thanks for the report. This particular bug has been identified and worked around in Debian. I'll get the fix applied to Ubuntu within the next few days.

Cheers!

This bug was fixed in the package ghc6 - 6.12.1-13ubuntu1

---------------
ghc6 (6.12.1-13ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low

  * Backport some fixes from Debian experimental to fix issues in the
    Ubuntu package without having to upgrade to a new release. The
    following changelog entries are copied from the Debian
    changelog. Thanks to Kari Pahula (kaol) for implementing the
    fixes. As soon as 6.12.3 is in unstable, ghc6 can be synced again.
  * Only insert packages in gen_contents_index which are both registered
    and for which the html directory exists.
  * Use ghc-pkg --global in ghc6's trigger to avoid accessing HOME.
    (Closes: #578679) (LP: #596784)
  * Fix directories in haddock manpage. (Closes: #578321)
  * Downgrade ghc6's dependency on perl to Suggests and have ghc6-doc
    depend on perl. (Closes: #553332)
  * Standards-Version 3.9.0 (no changes necessary)
  * ghc6 package now provides ghc6-ghci on architectures where it's
    supported (i386 and amd64 only currently).
