#474: cabal-install needlessly reinstalls an existing package ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: judah | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: unknown Ghcversion: | Platform: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment (by judah): I removed the only overlapping packages (haskell98-1.0.1.0 and Cabal-1.6.0.1) in the user db that I could see and tried again, and got the same error as above. ghc-pkg output is attached. Incidentally, I'm pretty sure that those two overlaps were caused by this issue (rather than being the cause of it), since `cabal install cabal- install` will install a new Cabal-1.6.0.1 in the user DB (as I mentioned above). -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/474#comment:3 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
