Versions: cabal-install is 0.6.2, Cabal is 1.6.0.2, and I have HTTP version 4000.0.7 installed, though I am not sure if that is the one cabal- install is compiled against. GHC is 6.10.3. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/572 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
