#945: Fails to find install plan for containers package tests ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: tibbe | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.14.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: 7.4.1 Platform: Linux | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ The containers package has a test-suite section which seems to create a cycle when building the package. Could it be that Cabal treats the package as one unit instead of treating the library and test-suite sections separately, which should remove the cycle. {{{ $ cabal install --enable-tests -v3 searching for ghc in path. found ghc at /usr/local/bin/ghc ("/usr/local/bin/ghc",["--numeric-version"]) /usr/local/bin/ghc is version 7.4.1 looking for tool "ghc-pkg" near compiler in /usr/local/bin found ghc-pkg in /usr/local/bin/ghc-pkg ("/usr/local/bin/ghc-pkg",["--version"]) /usr/local/bin/ghc-pkg is version 7.4.1 ("/usr/local/bin/ghc",["--supported-languages"]) ("/usr/local/bin/ghc",["--info"]) Reading installed packages...
