Re: how to remove ghc-text 1.2.1.3-2

Prof. Kuroda!

Below is not a good solution but a workaround.

The cause of the trouble is you do not have unregister.sh in /sw/share/doc/ghc-text.  So, create the file  /sw/share/doc/ghc-text/unregister.sh as:

#!/bin/sh
export PATH='/sw/var/lib/fink/path-prefix-libcxx:/sw/var/lib/fink/path-prefix-clang:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/opt/X11/bin'
'/sw/bin/ghc-pkg' 'unregister' '--global' 'text-1.2.1.3' "$@"


Alternatively, you can remove /sw and reinstall Fink.  But this is time-wasting.
