#269: Not having an up-to-date package list causes indexing out of bounds error ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment (by duncan): We think this is due to truncated downloads. We've got a sample 00-index.tar.gz that elicits this problem. So there are two things to do: * work out where it's failing when reading truncated files (eg is it the gunzip or the tar format parsing that fails) * detect truncated downloads and decide what to do wit them. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/269#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
