#562: cabal-install update fails going through a HTTP proxy (but not consistently) ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: acid2 | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: unknown Ghcversion: | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by michaeldever): Extracting the tarball of the FileManip package that was downloaded yeilds this: {{{ /home/member/d/dever/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org/00-index.tar.gz gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file FileManip-0.3.2/ FileManip-0.3.2/README FileManip-0.3.2/FileManip.cabal FileManip-0.3.2/System/ FileManip-0.3.2/System/FilePath/ FileManip-0.3.2/System/FilePath/GlobPattern.hs tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now }}} So it's definitely a problem with the HTTP package in my opinion. I'm not sure if it is a problem with the packages proxy handling, as it does download some of the package, but not all of it. Seeing as both the Zlib library, and tar yield an end of stream error, its something that I'm reckoning is happening during transport. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/562#comment:7 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
