#829: Happstack overrides MissingH ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: mcandre | Owner: Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.8.0.6 Severity: normal | Resolution: duplicate Keywords: | Difficulty: unknown Ghcversion: 6.12.3 | Platform: Mac OS ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by duncan): * status: new => closed * resolution: => duplicate Comment: If you need two packages, install them simultaneously: {{{ cabal install [--dry-run] happstack-server missingh }}} This guarantees that they get installed with consistent dependencies. You're hitting an instance of ticket #371, that cabal can break existing installed packages. What we should do there, is warn that installing something would break other packages and let the user either force that or change their request. (Or the long term solution is a persistent package store) -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/829#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
