The message appears while trying to extract the tar.gz file. I have manually updated Cabal (1.8.0.2), cabal-install(0.8.2) and zlib(0.5.2.0) but the error remains. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/686 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects

Does running `cabal --version` report the expected version? I ask because it is unfortunately all too easy to accidentally get into the situation where there are two versions of cabal-install installed and the first one on the Windows %PATH% is often the older one. If you are definitely running version 0.8.2, does this happen for all packages or just some? Does trying to unpack the .tar.gz package manually (eg using tar command line, or WinZip) fail too? BTW, you can see where cabal is getting the .tar.gz file from, just run with the -v flag and look for the line where it mentions extracting (which is presumably also where it'll fail). -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/686#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects

I think it happens for all packages as every package I tried to install gave the same "incorrect header check" error. I unpacked the .tar.gz manually successfully and then installed the package manually with the "runghc Setup ..." commands. It works this way. {{{ Here is what I get when I run "cabal install binary-search -v" for example C:\Users\Paul>cabal install binary-search -v C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\2010.1.0.0\bin\ghc.exe --numeric-version looking for package tool: ghc-pkg near compiler in C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\2010.1.0.0\bin found package tool in C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\2010.1.0.0\bin\ghc-pkg.exe C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\2010.1.0.0\bin\ghc-pkg.exe --version C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\2010.1.0.0\bin\ghc.exe --supported- languages Reading installed packages...

The versions are all the same, cabal-install version 0.8.2 using version 1.8.0.2 of the Cabal library zlib-0.5.2.0. I can't update because of the error. I notice that it downloads 00-index.tar.gz, but creates it as a POSIX tar archive, ie. it seems to automatically gunzip it. I think that is the problem. Not sure how to proceed.

There is a header: Content-Encoding: x-gzip that gets causes the file to be gunzipped before it gets to my computer. There are solutions: 1) patch cabal-install to not fail on files it expects to be gzipped but have been unzipped. I'll see if I can make a patch to do that. 2) make my ISP not proxy the http traffic (not very easy to do). 3) Remove the Content-Encoding: x-gzip header. I have bumped the severity because this error stops me from using cabal, a basic part of the batteries included platform. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/686#comment:4 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects

Content-Type: application/x-gzip ... }}} and {{{ $ HEAD http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/00-index.tar.gz ... Content-Encoding: x-gzip Content-Type: application/x-tar ... }}} As you can see, the Content-Encoding header is not set on the ubuntu apache server when serving tar.gz files. I guess it would be sensible to not set it on the hackage server either. Note that this is the same problem described on #622. I think the ISPs proxy settings are "wrong", but they are also common, and out of our control. BTW, the ISP is Telecom NZ, with millions of customers, so I don't expect to hear back from them any time soon.
