Turns out that there are zero packages in hackage with this kind of dodgy version number.
That is not an accident; they're forbidden because they would break
#194: add sanity checking to version numbers ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: very easy (<1 hour) Ghcversion: 6.8.1 | Platform: Linux ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by duncan): Replying to [comment:2 ross@soi.city.ac.uk]: things. Right. I should not have been surprised. :-) So since things are in a good state lets just take a hard line everywhere. It's a good deal easier than trying to add warnings in the right places. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/194#comment:3 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
