#349: cabal install hangs using CPU when resolving dependencies on ghc 6.9.20080907 ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: ganesh | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.9 Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Built GHC from HEAD, and cabal install (built with a previous GHC) hangs eating CPU and producing no output after "Resolving dependencies...", apparently for any package. e.g. cabal install -v rmonad --global --root-cmd=sudo Global package.conf file attached. dcoutts suspects that the base3/base4 thing might be the cause. ganesh@defoe:~$ cabal --version cabal-install version 0.5.2 using version 1.4.0.2 of the Cabal library -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/349 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
