I've tried using cabal-install (cabal.exe) for the first time to install yi, and all of the packages fail to download. Reducing to a simple test case, "cabal install binary" fails with:
Resolving dependencies... Downloading binary-0.4.4... cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: binary-0.4.4 failed while downloading the package.
Where do I look to diagnose this?
Try: cabal fetch binary -v3 It should give you plenty of detail on the HTTP conversation. Could you also file a ticket pointing out how useless the default error message is when the download fails. We should at least tell the user the HTTP error code. Duncan
