#880: Honour both --only-dependencies and --reinstall for cabal install command. ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: lndbrg | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.10.1.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Cabal should be able to reinstall all dependencies of a package easily. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Break your cabal install somehow, keeping the database of the installed packages. For example remove the ~/.cabal folder. 2. Try to install a program with a dependency that you installed before via cabal (and resided in ~/.cabal) 3. Get error message about missing files/broken package. 4. Try to reinstall the dependencies of the program you want to reinstall: cabal install foo --reinstall --only-dependencies Expected results: all dependencies of foo is reinstalled. Actual result: Resolving dependencies... No packages to be installed. All the requested packages are already installed. If you want to reinstall anyway then use the --reinstall flag. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/880> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

See ghc ticket http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4134 This applies to the paths in the .cabal file. For ones specified on the command line perhaps just making them absolute would be ok. Ones specified in the global config must be absolute.
