+It seems you cloned this repository from GitHub. But your git config files
+don't contain the url rewrites that are needed to make this work (GitHub
+doesn't support '/' in repository names, so we use a different naming scheme
+for the submodule repositories there).
+
+Please run the following commands first:
+
+ git config --global url."git://github.com/ghc/packages-".insteadOf git://github.com/ghc/packages/
+ git config --global url."http://github.com/ghc/packages-".insteadOf http://github.com/ghc/packages/
+ git config --global url."https://github.com/ghc/packages-".insteadOf https://github.com/ghc/packages/
+ git config --global url."ssh://git\@github.com/ghc/packages-".insteadOf ssh://git\@github.com/ghc/packages/
+ git config --global url."git\@github.com:/ghc/packages-".insteadOf git\@github.com:/ghc/packages/
+
+And then:
+
+ git submodule update --init
+ ./boot
+
+Or start over, and clone the GHC repository from the haskell server:
+
+ git clone --recursive git://git.haskell.org/ghc.git
