Yes, they disappered after completing upgrade. It was sid -> sid
upgrade, but last upgrade was lake 10 days ago, so in this time multiple
packages was upgraded in unstable.

Sorry for polish diagnostic, but polish text there is just some standard dpkg messages, like

"Odczyt bazy danych " = "Reading database of packages"
"Przygotowywanie ... " = "Preparing to extract ..."
"Rozpakowanie " .. = "Extracing ..."
"Przetwarzenie wyzwalaczy dla ..." = "Processing triggers for "

So, not there is not dpkg errors per se, but ghc triggers do something
which results in this dependency warnings, they are transient, as after
upgrade, I do not have them anymore.  I'm just saying it is strange, because
I had never such warnings about ghc packages dependencies.

I reported problem, mostly to make sure that if this is possible
problem, then other people, especially updating from squeezy, will not
encounter it. Maybe this is because I'm using sid, and some previous packages
was broken.

Normally I will know what the problem is, by analyzing dpkg output, but
this is clearly something releated to internal ghc package managment
(cabal maybe?), and I am not familiary with it. And have know idea
what are the package names/version it is printing in this warning messages.

Witek
