[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#749471: ghc: changeWorkingDirectory systematically fails

[Boris Daix]

Package: ghc
Version: 7.6.3-10
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

:cd'ind in GHCi is not possible anymore:

bdaix at nephtys:~$ pwd
/home/bdaix
bdaix at nephtys:~$ ghci
GHCi, version 7.6.3: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done.
Loading package base ... linking ... done.
Prelude> :cd ".."
*** Exception: "..": changeWorkingDirectory: does not exist (No such file or directory)
Prelude>

This issue also breaks haskell-mode.

Cheers,
