Total newbie on haskell packages here.
While upgrading to the last version of ghc and related haskell packages from testing, I've seen the following errors in the pacman log

Is it safe to ignore those "cannot find package X" or is there something that must be done? It is probably the unregister scriptlet that fails, because ghc got updated before those packages, so they are no longer in the db.
If you are paranoid just go trough ghc-pkg list and check that all the pages are listed after the update.
