#549: The reason for an upload error is not reported ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.6.0.2 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: unknown Ghcversion: | Platform: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Old description:

I don't have a paste to hand, but when `cabal upload` fails due to an error from the server, the error message is not displayed unless you also increase the verbosity (`-v3` worked for me).

See also #338.

Apparently this also affects download, not only upload.
