#53: if cabal get update needs to run, say so ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: ijones | Owner: ijones Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.4 Component: cabal-install tool | Version: Severity: major | Resolution: fixed Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.2.1 | Platform: Linux ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by duncan): * status: new => closed * resolution: => fixed Comment: We currently get: {{{ $ cabal install cabal-upload Warning: The package list does not exist. Run 'cabal update' to download it. cabal: Unresolved dependencies: cabal-upload -any }}} I misunderstood the request. The original request was just to say when the package list is missing. I interpreted it as knowing to update the package list based on a request to install something that was on the server but not in the current package list, which is rather harder. So closing this one as it's fixed. Though we could probably do better, it should be an error straight off rather than a warning followed by another error. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/53#comment:7 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
