Hi, (Note: I also posted this a few days ago to libraries@haskell.org without much response, and thought I might have more success here. Please correct me if this is inappropriate.) I'm trying to use cabal-install on two machines, Debian Sid and OS X 10.5, but I am unable to run "update" on either. Most other commands seem to work fine, but the networking for "update" gives an error on both machines, completely independently: Downloading package list from server 'http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive' cabal: recv: resource vanished (Connection reset by peer) Running with the -v3 option does not provide much more information: Downloading package list from server 'http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive' Sending: GET http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/00-index.tar.gz HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: cabal-install/0.5.1 Creating new connection to hackage.haskell.org cabal: recv: resource vanished (Connection reset by peer) Both machines are using a vanilla Netgear ProSafe VPN Firewall FVS318v3, a very simple prosumer router. Obviously, the router works fine for everything else, and has been running flawlessly for ages. This is using cabal-install from darcs and the cabal 1.4 branch. Thanks a bunch for helping, Jeff Wheeler
