+What steps will reproduce the problem?
+In the git-annex tree,
+
+ $ make
+ $ sudo make install
+
+What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
+
+One would expect git-annex to be installed in the configured prefix. Unfortunately, make tries to rebuild the "all" target before "install". This fails (presumably) due to incorrect environment state,
+
+ ghc -O2 -Wall -ignore-package monads-fd -ignore-package monads-tf -outputdir tmp -IUtility -DWITH_ASSISTANT -DWITH_S3 -DWITH_INOTIFY --make git-annex Utility/libdiskfree.o
+
+ Utility/FileSystemEncoding.hs:17:8:
+ Could not find module `Data.Bits.Utils':
+ Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
+ make: *** [git-annex] Error 1
+
+Removing "all" from the dependencies of "install" allows the process to run to completion, although this is clearly not a satisfactory solution.
