I do not even know really what GHC is for..... ). I know it is a precompiled header file but which program it uses .....
Should I report this as a bug?
# zypper info ghc ... Reading installed packages...
Information for package ghc: ---------------------------- Repository : UpdateSLE Name : ghc Version : 8.10.7-150500.3.2.5 Arch : x86_64 Vendor : SUSE LLC https://www.suse.com/ Installed Size : 1.6 KiB Installed : No Status : not installed Source package : ghc-8.10.7-150500.3.2.5.src Upstream URL : https://www.haskell.org/ghc/ Summary : The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler Description : Haskell is the standard purely functional programming language; the current language version is Haskell 98, agreed in December 1998.
GHC is a state-of-the-art programming suite for Haskell. Included is an optimising compiler generating good code for a variety of platforms, together with an interactive system for convenient, quick development. The distribution includes space and time profiling facilities, a large collection of libraries, and support for various language extensions, including concurrency, exceptions, and foreign language interfaces (C, C++, etc).

If you're not a programer, I suggest
zypper rm ghc*
If it proposes to remove anything you know you need to keep, answer no. I have no ghc installed.
It did remove 168 package of ghc....and astonishingly nothing else. So my guess is, some other package had time ago a "recommends" or a dependency that did draw it in and then it was there.... Another explanation I do not have. Thank you for this advise. I will now do the dup and then see if all is well the next days.
I'm having issues w/ packages that build using pandoc/pandoc-cli (which lives in devel:languages:haskell); no idea what might have changed under the hood which produces "unresolvable"s like: ... nothing provides libHSbase-compat-0.13.0-ASw4phAd2I0LrTJ4o8lXb1- ghc9.4.6.so()(64bit) needed by ghc-pandoc, nothing provides libHSsplit-0.2.3.5-J6pekuQs6yKFxqDJQyglHu-ghc9.4.6.so()(64bit) needed by ghc-pandoc, nothing provides libHSconduit-1.3.5-6Hse77U1maXGvTDyH7BysP-ghc9.4.6.so()(64bit) needed by ghc-pandoc, ... I don't have any ghc packages on my machine itself or `zypper dup` issues ATM. -- ~ Scott Bradnick | Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) Developer |- Tumbleweed: |-- Beelink SER6 Pro [AMD Rembrandt [Radeon 680M]] (x86_64) |-- Dell Precision 5540 [NVIDIA Quadro T1000] (x86_64) |-- IceWhale ZimaBoard 832 [Intel HD Graphics 500] (x86_64) |-- WinBook TW100 (x86_64) |- MicroOS: |-- O-DROID H2+ [UHD Graphics 600] (x86_64) https://keys.openpgp.org/ :: DBC5AA9A2D2BAEBC
