#841: cabal-install bootstrap.sh has an absurd dependency on base ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: VivianMcPhail | Owner: Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: high | Milestone: cabal-install-0.8 Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.8.0.6 Severity: major | Resolution: wontfix Keywords: base dependency | Difficulty: very easy (<1 hour) Ghcversion: | Platform: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by duncan): * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: Yeah, version 0.8 will not build with ghc-7. You need version 0.10. The poor error message is unfortunate. It's to do with how we pick amongst multiple alternative possible potential solutions in the flag resolution. This bit of code is slated for a rewrite. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/841#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
