[Hackage] #228: Cryptic error when a package does not exist
#228: Cryptic error when a package does not exist ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: Linux | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ {{{ $ cabal install foo cabal: user error (Unresolved dependencies: foo -any) }}} I expect a clearer error message here. Not sure about the exact wording, maybe »No such package available: foo« or »No such package to fetch: foo«. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/228 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
