Details
Profiled libraries appear to have been intentionally removed
from the ghc-8.0.2-1 package. This was not only unannounced,
but the new package is also effectively feature-incompatible
with the previous one. Without at least the base profiled
libraries being installed, profiling is impossible, in
addition to other features--here are just two of many as an
example:

Without them, this package is useless to anyone who needs to use profiling or the features that require it. |
