3970	ghc-pkg list segfaults in ghc-6.12.1.20100330	wkahl		"ghc-pkg has been segfaulting ever since I installed ghc-6.12.1.20100330 on my G5 PowerPC running gentoo 32-bit userland; current state:

{{{

(Now, trying to install zlib, I also get:
{{{
 ./Setup configure --prefix=/usr/local/packages/ghc-6.12.1.20100330 -p
Configuring zlib-0.5.2.0...
Setup: failed to parse output of 'ghc-pkg dump'
}}}
although I can see nothing wrong with the output of 'ghc-pkg dump' — reported under [http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/599 Bug 559 in the Cabal trac].)
