Errors installing various haskell packages from AUR

Hi all,

I'm having trouble installing various Haskell related packages from the AUR.
Here's one example of the problem I'm having:

$ sudo pacman -Sy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core                       35.6K   88.2K/s 00:00:00 [###########################] 100%
 extra                     466.7K  242.0K/s 00:00:02 [###########################] 100%
 community                 445.8K  219.7K/s 00:00:02 [###########################] 100%

$ pacaur -y haskell-haskelldb
:: haskell-containers is available in extra
:: haskell-directory is available in extra
:: haskell-mtl is available in extra
:: haskell-old-time is available in extra
:: haskell-pretty is available in extra
:: haskell-haskelldb downloaded to /mnt/store/aur/build
:: AUR package(s) to build: haskell-haskelldb
:: Building haskell-haskelldb package...
==> Making package: haskell-haskelldb 2.0.1-3 (Sat Jul 16 14:16:51 EST 2011)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
error: target not found: haskell-containers=0.3.0.0
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.
:: Cleaning up haskell-haskelldb... 
:: haskell-haskelldb cleaned

pacaur claims that "haskell-containers is available in extra", but a search gives:

$ pacman -Ss haskell-containers
extra/ghc 7.0.3-2 [installed: 7.0.2-1]
    The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

What's going on here? Thanks!

Re: Errors installing various haskell packages from AUR

I don't know how pacaur works but something tells me you have old package databases, as haskell-containers is not in the repos.
Please grab a fresh mirrorlist http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/ , run 'pacman -Syyu' and try updating / installing AUR packages again.

The only haskell-containers I found are here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34004

See ghc's provides array.

Re: Errors installing various haskell packages from AUR

Thanks for your responses. I did pacman -Syyu but the error remained. Containers is now provided by ghc so it looks like the AUR package is just old (flagged on AUR). I installed it using cabal and it worked fine.
