#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 guest): There are a few options, one of which might get you unstuck: You can reinstall a package: {{{ cabal install --reinstall haskell-src-exts-1.10.2 }}} Or you could use `ghc-pkg unregister` instead of `cabal uninstall ...` For a long term solution, I would recommend using `cabal-dev` to install packages in their own sandboxes where their dependencies won't affect the build of other things on your machine. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/655#comment:4 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
