#655: for every install there should be an uninstall ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: nr | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: uninstall Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by nr): This is still an issue. I am having a dependency problem with pads- haskell-0.2 and haskell-src-meta-0.4. haskell-src-meta-0.4 depends on haskell-src-exts in the range 1.6 to 1.0. But with haskell-src-exts-1.9, pads-haskell will not build. With haskell-src-exts-1.10.2, pads-haskell will build. My machine has *both* versions of haskell-src-exts. But I cannot add the higher dependency to pads-haskell.cabal without extensive bleating. There is clearly an underlying dependency problem here that ought to be addressed, but my immediate concern is to get software to build. If 'cabal uninstall' existed, I could uninstall the older packages and continue. As it is, the only way I know to make progress is to remove all of ~/.cabal and start over. Not a good model. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/655#comment:3 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
