Dear maintainer,

I would like to let you know that during an upgrade of ghc ((9.6.6-4) over (9.6.6-3)) I got this warning:

    Setting up ghc (9.6.6-4) ...
    update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/runghc to provide /usr/bin/runhaskell (runhaskell) in auto mode
    update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/ghc to provide /usr/bin/haskell-compiler (haskell-compiler) in auto mode
    Warning: include-dirs: /usr/lib/ghc/lib/../lib/x86_64-linux-ghc-9.6.6/directory-1.3.8.5/include doesn't exist or isn't a directory

However, this package does not seem to be completely broken:

    $ ghci
    ghci> :module + System.Directory
    ghci> doesPathExist "/"
    True

Best wishes
