What does Arch do in particular to cause a mess? It's been a hot minute since I last used it and surely didn't use pandoc back then. | ||

Haskell packages in arch are dynamically, rather than statically, linked, which pulls in a large amount of transitive dependencies (reportedly in the neighborhood of a gigabyte). The maintainer has a pretty reasonable (to my eyes) explanation[1] as to why this is the case, but admittedly if I were an arch user I'd probably find it a bit annoying.

They build and link all Haskell libraries dynamically. | ||
