#664: incorrect dependencies for packages with both library and executable in them -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: kr.angelov@… | Owner: Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.3 Severity: normal | Resolution: fixed Keywords: | Difficulty: unknown Ghcversion: | Platform: -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Changes (by duncan): * status: new => closed * resolution: => fixed Comment: This is fixed in Cabal-1.8. However so that we do not break all the old packages that accidentally depend on this bug, the fixed behaviour is only enabled if your package specifies `cabal-version: >= 1.8`. It is unfortunate that we have to conditionally enable this behaviour. Because the bug was around for so long many packages accidentally depend on it. Indeed gf-3.1.6 itself needs fixing! The lib part depends on pretty but does not say so. It's picking it up because it's specified for the gf executable. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/664#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
