#349: cabal install hangs using CPU when resolving dependencies on ghc 6.9 ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: ganesh | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.9 | Platform: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by duncan): * priority: normal => high * summary: cabal install hangs using CPU when resolving dependencies on ghc 6.9.20080907 => cabal install hangs using CPU when resolving dependencies on ghc 6.9 Comment: We need to fix this one. Unfortunately it's a lot harder than just resolving this infinite loop. Just fixing that would give us the result that instead of looping it'd fail to find a solution, more or less every time. That's because the current resolver is looking for a solution that uses each package at most once and the base 3 - 4 thing breaks that assumption. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/349#comment:2 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
