Here goes : was bored and thought of Space Invaders , hadn't played that in a while so offs I go to find , (AUR) , found it and thought alright , coupla games and call it a night. Well I'm strictly Newbie and sure enough haskell , ghc, haskell-hgl ? , flashed up and I naively thought upgrade ? , why not - Space Invaders right ?
Well this showed ;
All cabalized and yaourt-installed packages need to be reinstalled now.
==> See /usr/share/haskell/ and ghc-pkg list --user for a tentative list of affected packages.
I thought , ok , I can deal with this . So off to find above mentioned found it but couldn't run it ? , . O K looked for aforementioned pkg list - no go . tried to downgrade and got this ;
yaourt -Su --downgrade haskell-cabel
==> Downgrading packages
No package to downgrade
.
So offs I go to var /packman/pkg , thats were I found ghc-6.10.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz and haskell-x11-1.4.5-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz and looked for older ones , no go . Found older ones but i couldn't fix it , not much on Google and found 1 post here , but didn't make a lot of since to me . Affected pkg.'s, ( so far ) , claws won't open and no icon for pidgin when running , no mail at all .
Excuse the infrequent postings , hey I 'm running Arch and most always can find an answer by searching but must admit I's hit a wall and dread the thought of losing Claws and the E-Mail that is in it . This is probably a simple fix so I Thank You all in advance .

Thanks
Did a little more research and not to sure if it had anything to do with the "game and/or Haskell " , don't know .But reread the Wiki Downgrade and came up with this .
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrade_packages
The package ,libldap-2.3.43-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz , is sitting on desktop and the one I've installed is 2.4.18-1 so now acording to the wiki would ; pacman -U pkgname-olderpkgver.pkg.tar.gz. , be
wrote as such -
pacman -U libldap-2.418-1-libldap-2.3.43-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
or does the package have to be some where else ? Still learning here and downgrading seems like a good deal ! Also would it resurrect Claws without loss of E-Mail ?
There was this filed/reported , on Google : http://tinyurl.com/qwjbtq
which led me to here :
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16217
and
Found package here :

The following morning Claws 3.7.2 fixed the itself , (wouldn't open ) , Shaman's desktop icon doesn't show up still and I have to use system Monitor - Processes to kill it - Pidgin icon ,(when running for both-Shaman and Pidgin), so this part is solved .
Unaware this was two separate challenges so I unknowingly lumped them together.
Mods -Thanks for the vigil here at the Forums and if needed delete this post and I'll re-post ;

this part as I wonder if its anything to worry about since I don't know how to use Haskell
but hopefully I'll understand at a later date .
Thanks

1. you are not typing the package name correctly, please use tab completion
2. just reinstall any cabalized haskell packages that you might have installed.

Claws is updated , but can't find the list , ( ghc-pkg list --user ) , I think Haskell probably needs to be configured and don't have a clue .
Shaman icon , when running , isn't visible nor Pidgin ! Use System Monitor to kill it but Pidgin shuts down when window is closed , whats in common with the two and not others , is it still related to the
Haskell install ? Now the spam icon in Claws is greyed out too .
Thanks again for helping out . edit ; forgot to mention running
locate ghc-pkg list wesley
and it came back with a slew of apps., !? can't believe they all need re-installed , maybe base packages for them will reinstall what it wants to set it straight ????
