cabal-install can't link pandoc-types

[mhwombat]

Describe the bug

Today I ran sudo nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade, and suddenly none of the pandoc filters that I have developed will build.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. In an empty directory, create a simple Haskell program that uses pandoc-types.

❯ cat Main.hs
module Main where

import qualified Text.Pandoc      as P
import Text.Pandoc.JSON            (toJSONFilter)

formatColumns :: P.Block -> P.Block
formatColumns = id

main :: IO ()
main = toJSONFilter formatColumns

2. Create a simple cabal file.

❯ cat cabal-pandoc-issue.cabal
cabal-version:      3.0
name:               cabal-pandoc-issue
version:            0.1.0.0
category:           Text
build-type:         Simple
extra-doc-files:    CHANGELOG.md

executable cabal-pandoc-issue
    main-is:          Main.hs
    build-depends:
        base ^>=4.15.1.0,
        pandoc,
        pandoc-types
    default-language: Haskell2010

3. Try to build the program.

❯ nix-shell -p "haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (p: [p.pandoc p.pandoc-types])"

❯ cabal build

Expected behavior

Cabal-install should be able to link this.

Is it possible you're running into some sort of problem like #169332 (comment) ?

[mhwombat]

I did rm -rf ~/.cabal (as recommended in #169332) and tried again, but got the same result.

[mhwombat]

Also, other programs I've written in Haskell (that don't use pandoc) are compiling without problems, so this doesn't seem to be a global issue.

[cdepillabout]

Huh, that's interesting. I just copied your files locally, did:

$ nix-shell -p "haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (p: [p.pandoc p.pandoc-types])" -p cabal-install

And then from the shell did:

$ cabal build

As you can see, everything appears to be working correctly. This is on 22.05 at c06d5fa on x86_64-linux.

I thought maybe it was a problem with nixos-unstable, so I also tried:

$ nix-shell -p "haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (p: [p.pandoc p.pandoc-types])" -p cabal-install -I nixpkgs=channel:nixos-unstable

And then did:

$ rm -rf ~/.cabal/{packages,store}
$ cabal update

Which also works. This is on 2da64a8.

So my best guess is that this is some problem on your system, but if you already tried rm -rf ./dist-newstyle ~/.cabal, I don't have a good idea what could be the problem you're seeing.

[mhwombat]

Thank you for trying. I'll experiment a bit and see if I can narrow down the problem any further.

In the meantime, just to check my own sanity, here's a test i did just now. As you can see, I removed ~/.cabal and there's no ./dist-newstyle or other build artifacts in the directory.

❯ rm -rf ~/.cabal

Curiouser and curiouser! I checked my nix-store, and there seems to be an issue with pandoc-type, among other packages.

[mhwombat]

Solved! After checking the store for problems with nix store verify --all, I then repaired each reported problem. For example:

sudo nix store repair /nix/store/bbgmrb37psjkkpxly60zg9w56sfyszrq-pandoc-types-1.22.2.1

And now it builds!

[cdepillabout]

Oh nice, good solve! I definitely wouldn't have thought to check the health of the /nix/store!
