@dreieck: I'm not the maintainer, and I definitely see the value that would bring to reduce confusion at first installation. But I also see a problem with that change when upgrading:

Once you've installed ghc8.2, you no longer have ghc8.2-bin installed. You would have to remove ghc8.2, install ghc8.2-bin, and finally install the upgraded version of ghc8.2, removincg ghc8.2-bin again.

makedend on itself, maybe resolve by makedepending explicitly on ghc8.2-bin?

It seems this package has a make time dependency on texlive-latexextra.

@popsch The circular dependency is intentional. You need ghc-8.2 to be able to compile ghc-8.2 (or at the very least ghc-8.0).

This is explained in a comment on the PKGBUILD itself:

# This can be built by using GHC 8.2, this is noted by the apparent circular
# dependency on ghc8.2.  A binary version is provided by the AUR ghc8.2-bin
# package.

You can install the binary version provided by the ghc8.2-bin then use it to compile this.

The package currently has a circular dependency.
