I guess it shouldn't but since they (the sandboxes) became more "common place" I have yet to find a reason to try them.

From what I see on blogs and lists though I don't think it does really cure the problems per se. IIUIC the most common cause of troubles is when dependencies between packages cause issues and that can happen even in a sandbox.

Perhaps I will try again sometime soon but I am knee deep in Prolog these days, and PHP :(

Lurker speaks: I too came to the same conclusion as Michael a long time back; I absolutely love Haskell but sooner or later it seemed to me that the "dependancy hell" would kick in just when you least needed / expected it to. It is the single biggest put off for me now to consider using it.

Does this dependency hell problem still exist when you use cabal sandboxes?
