#301: No way to reinstall current version of a package ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.4.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: very easy (<1 hour) | Ghcversion: 6.8.3 Platform: | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- cabal-install currently offers no way of reinstalling a version of a package which is already installed. If one has been messing around with libraries behind Cabal's back, this might be useful, if for no other reason than to assuage one's worries regarding link errors. Ideally a flag `--force` or whatever could be given to `cabal upgrade` and `cabal install`, which would make bypass the check for whether the package exists. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/301 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
