So I found out that cabal and cabal-install are 2 different modules ;-)

Would it be not cleaner with this:
cabal-install version 1.18.0.5
Cabal version 1.18.1.4

Instead of what we currently get?
cabal-install version 1.18.0.5
using version 1.18.1.4 of the Cabal library

Subject: fresh install - cabal version confusion

Hi, please can you help me with following? I’m having some issues with a Haskell upgrade. 
Before upgrade I have uninstalled Haskell, removed directory + removed .ghc and .cabal files. After I install haskell and run cabal –V I get the output below. Confusing is the versions cabal returns: cabal-install version 1.18.0.5 using version 1.18.1.4? I have tried to run also cabal update, what installed 1.20.0.3, but I still got the same output. What does it mean?

I’m running on Mac.


**********************************************************************
=== Configuration for cabal has been written to
    /Users/miro/.cabal/config

=== Executables will be installed in:
    /Users/miro/Library/Haskell/bin

    You may wish to place this on your PATH by adding the following
    line to your ~/.bash_profile:

    export PATH="$HOME/Library/Haskell/bin:$PATH"

=== When documentation is built, a master index to all documentation
    will be placed in:

    /Users/miro/Library/Haskell/doc/index.html

    You may wish to bookmark that file once it gets built (after the
    first cabal install).
