#595: runhaskell Setup.hs configure fails telling that a dependency is missing while it is not ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: miscellaneous | Version: HEAD Severity: major | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: 6.10.1 Platform: Linux | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Tried to do this: runhaskell Setup.hs configure with a simple .cabal file. It says: $ runhaskell Setup.lhs configure Configuring cabalfailure-0.1... Setup.lhs: At least the following dependencies are missing: network-multicast -any In reality, however, the "network-multicast" is present on the system. It was recently installed like this: "cabal install network-multicast" This is also confirmed using ghc-pkgs: $ ghc-pkg list /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.10.2/./package.conf: Cabal-1.6.0.3, array-0.2.0.0, base-3.0.3.1, base-4.1.0.0, bytestring-0.9.1.4, containers-0.2.0.1, directory-1.0.0.3, editline-0.2.1.0, filepath-1.1.0.2, (ghc-6.10.2), ghc-prim-0.1.0.0, haddock-2.4.2, haskell98-1.0.1.0, hpc-0.5.0.3, integer-0.1.0.1, libxml-0.1.1, mtl-1.1.0.2, old-locale-1.0.0.1, old-time-1.0.0.2, packedstring-0.1.0.1, pretty-1.0.1.0, process-1.0.1.1, random-1.0.0.1, rts-1.0, syb-0.1.0.1, template-haskell-2.3.0.1, unix-2.3.2.0 /home/rtvd/.ghc/i386-linux-6.10.2/package.conf: HaXml-1.13.3, HaXml-1.19.7, bytestring-0.9.1.4, dlist-0.5, dstring-0.3, ghc-paths-0.1.0.5, haddock-2.4.2, mtl-1.1.0.2, network-2.2.1.2, network-bytestring-0.1.2.1, network-multicast-0.0.5, parsec-2.1.0.1, polyparse-1.2, polyparse-1.3, to-string-class-0.1.1 Note: ghc version is 6.10.2, Cabal version is 1.6.0.3 The example is attached to this ticket. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/595 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
