haskell upgrade by ghcup throws error

19 July 2020, 14:16:56

I have my haskell installed through ghcup. I am trying to upgrade to the latest version by issuing

Quote

ghcup upgrade

. In this process, I get the following error:

~~> ghcup upgrade                                                                                             1 
[ Warn  ] New GHCup version available: 0.1.5. To upgrade, run 'ghcup upgrade'
[ Info  ] Upgrading GHCup...
[ Error ] DistroNotFound

After consulting Arch Haskell Wiki, it looks like to me that ghcup is one of the ways for managing multiple ghc versions in a system. I was wondering is this our issue (artix dependent) or should be posted to haskell group/forum?

Kindly advise.

Hello.

Reading its gitlab one of the Know issues are the "
Limited distributions supported".

So, at least you can find a way to trick GHC to believe the system is "Archlinux" instead of "Artixlinux" I don't know a way to solve this problem.
