When I try to install Pandoc, I see:

The exception was: ExitFailure 11
If I try to run this command, it works without problems. So why do I see ExitFailure 11
? How do I get an error message to give me a decent error message?
As a side note: I love Haskell, but the bastard is terrible. We need a better package manager.
