#172: cabal-install segfaults ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install | Version: Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.6 Platform: Linux | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Using the newest library version on hackage, "cabal update" segfaults after downloading the package list from hackage. "cabal install" produces the error "cabal: Data.ByteString.Lazy.index: index too large: 0" steps to reproduce the problem (at least for me): install the newest versions of Cabal (1.2.2.0), HTTP (3001.0.0), and zlib (0.4.0.1) from hackage, compile and install cabal-install (0.4.0) from hackage, create a directory called dist (to circumvent another problem with cabal-install), run cabal update, or cabal install -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/172 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
