haskell-parsec 2.1.0.1 in extra

It seems parsec is at v2.1.0.1 in extra, however recompiling xmobar through ABS gives an error that parsec 3.0.1 is required.

Re: haskell-parsec 2.1.0.1 in extra

Hmm, I don't understand either. Once for a while the package haskell-parsec is at 3.0.1, and later (I forget when) it strangely got back to 2.1.0.1 (I've noticed that the package was flagged out-of-date in our pkg db. ). Problem is now the package is totally unusable. I don't know why. Whenever I want to import Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec, GHC complains the following:

<no location info>:
    Could not find module `Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec':
      There are files missing in the `parsec-2.1.0.1' package,
      try running 'ghc-pkg check'.
      Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.

At first it complains for parsec-3.0.1. After I ran

ghc-pkg unregister parsec-3.0.1

and reinstalled haskell-parsec, it complains at parsec-2.1.0.1. But

ghc-pkg check

output nothing, and I also found all necessary files in /usr/lib/parsec-2.1.0.1.

I don't know what's wrong. Any idea?

OK, I will file one, just not quite sure. Thanks, Allan,
