#745: cabal-install sometimes gives empty build-log and no build-summary ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: igloo | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Building `NaturalSort-0.2.1` with GHC 7.0.1 RC 1: {{{ $ cabal install --build-summary=log.bs --build-log=log.bl Resolving dependencies... Warning: NaturalSort.cabal: This package requires Cabal version: >=1.6 && <1.9 cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: NaturalSort-0.2.1 failed during the configure step. The exception was: user error (The package requires Cabal library version -any && >=1.6 && <1.9 but no suitable version is installed.) $ cat log.bs cat: log.bs: No such file or directory $ cat log.bl $ }}} I would like the build log to contain the error. I have {{{ $ cabal --version cabal-install version 0.9.2 using version 1.9.2 of the Cabal library }}} but this is not a released version; if nothing else, I have the #697 patch applied. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/745 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
