Bug#649518: haskell-dpkg: FTBFS against latest libdpkg-dev

Dear Maintainer,

I was looking at why haskell-dpkg is FTBFS in Ubuntu and noticed that the
package is designed for earlier versions of libdpkg. It assumes that
'struct pkginfo' has 'name' and 'next' members.

As far as I can see, nowadays, it has an 'arch_next' member which I assume
is the analog to 'next'. Not sure what the analog to 'name' is.

It should be updated to build against the version of libdpkg in testing.

Debian Release: wheezy/sid
APT prefers precise-updates
APT policy: (500, 'precise-updates'), (500, 'precise-security'), (500, 'precise')
Architecture: i386 (i686)

Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-2-generic-pae (SMP w/4 CPU cores)
Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash

It has them in dpkg 1.16.1.1 which is in both testing and unstable.

I think perhaps you are witnessing something Ubuntu did for
multiarch.
