+hi,
+
+I am trying to build git annex on lenny.
+
+I checked out the latest from git c88d4939453845efee04da811d64aa41046f9c11,
+installed all the packages (some from backports) as required by dpkg-buildpackage
+
+Then I get this:
+
+	...
+	mkdir -p build
+	ghc -odir build -hidir build --make git-annex
+	[ 1 of 19] Compiling Utility          ( Utility.hs, build/Utility.o )

+	dh_auto_build: make -j1 returned exit code 2
+	make: *** [build] Error 2
+	dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2
+
+I will try to check the mentioned file for error, but I do not know how to program in haskell.
+
+Thanks for your help!
