#480: "cabal list" fails after "cabal update" ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.4.0.2 Severity: normal | Resolution: wontfix Keywords: | Difficulty: unknown Ghcversion: 6.8.3 | Platform: Mac OS ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by duncan): * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: Yes, the problem is that the version of cabal-install you're using is using the older Cabal library that cannot parse some of the constructs in newer .cabal files. That's why updating to the latest version solves the problem. There is no reason not to upgrade so that is the recommended solution. For the future we should try to make it handle packages that need later versions of Cabal in a more graceful way.
