Re: [arch-haskell] aura won't upgrade (looks like a cabal version issue)

It's easy to get confused by the package cabal-install installing a tool called `cabal`, while the underlying library is called Cabal. So, when you run `cabal --version` you are checking which version of cabal-install you have, and which version of Cabal *it* is using. However, when you build aura cabal-install isn't used (based on my reading of it's PKGBUILD), it uses a method that goes straight to Cabal and it then uses the latest version installed.

Ah, I did indeed get confused by that. I blew away my .cabal and .ghc and everything installs fine now. martin
