#834: cabal should detect case errors in build-depends: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: cmh | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.8.0.6 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ for example, with a foo.cabal file containing: build depends: http >= 4000 Resolving dependencies... cabal: cannot configure foo-0.0.1. It requires http >=4000 There is no available version of http that satisfies >=4000 The solution is of course to specify HTTP, but the user may be led to believe that there is a version problem, which is confusing. Perhaps a message such as - "Did you mean package HTTP" - Would be appropriate. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/834 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
