#538: --constraint= is not respected for base ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: Saizan | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.6.0.2 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by duncan): * component: Cabal library => cabal-install tool Comment: The problem is in the cabal-install constraint solver. We handle packages like base specially (base 3 depends on base 4). We do it by whenever we select one we also select the other. However clearly at the end when we pick one we're ignoring some constraint. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/538#comment:1> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
