Github runners currently switched ubuntu-latest from ubuntu-22.04 to ubuntu-24.04, which made ghc8.0 and ghc 8.2 install failed. See debug log here.

That is because libncurses5 and libtinfo5 install failed:

setup/src/installer.ts

Lines 278 to 286 in dd344bc

async function aptLibNCurses5(): Promise<boolean> {
core.info(
`Installing libcurses5 and libtinfo5 using apt-get (for ghc < 8.3)`
);
const returnCode = await exec(
`sudo -- sh -c "apt-get update && apt-get -y install libncurses5 libtinfo5"`
);
return returnCode === 0;

And then /usr/local/.ghcup/tmp/ghcup-3ba2aace02c1cc3e/usr/local/.ghcup/ghc/8.2.2/lib/ghc-8.2.2/bin/ghc-pkg: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Thanks for the heads up!

So I suppose GHC 8.0 and 8.2 will become unsupported. (They are already not supported by latest Stack anymore.)
Or do you know an easy fix?

Adding an extra source can fix it, see my test here.

But I'm not sure if it is worth to do.

Well if it is just one line...
I am happy to get this as a PR (after some cleanup and maybe a comment added to the deb command that this is necessary for ubuntu 24.04.
