hs-sha @1.6.1 activate failure executing /opt/local/libexec/hs-sha/register.sh

[gthb (Gunnlaugur Thor Briem)]

Installing pandoc failed on the requirement hs-sha. Sailent bit from the log:

Subsequently manually running port activate hs-sha worked, and after that installing pandoc worked. So this was a hiccup on first install, apparently.

I had exactly the same problem, and the proposed work around (manually run port activate hs-sha) also worked for me.

I think this ticket is obsolete since r106864.
