Hi, I get this error on multiple machines running Windows, with both GHC 6.10.4 and 6.12.1: $ ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.12.1 $ cabal --version cabal-install version 0.8.0 using version 1.8.0.2 of the Cabal library $ cabal update Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org cabal: Codec.Compression.Zlib: premature end of compressed stream This is the same error as reported on http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/636. I'm also not the only Windows user I know who has got this. Is Cabal broken in some way? It's fairly serious and annoying that GHC 6.12.1 can't be used with Cabal. Thanks, Neil
