But now consider:
$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 1.16.0.2
using version 1.16.0 of the Cabal library
$ which cabal
/home/ajs/.cabal/bin/cabal
$ /home/ajs/.cabal/bin/cabal --version
cabal-install version 1.20.0.1
using version 1.20.0.0 of the Cabal library
This is why I keep, completely pointlessly, telling people to never ever use `which`. It lies. But people want the lies and get confused when they
wrote: prove to be lies.
Try `type cabal` --- NOT `which cabal` --- to see what is really going
on. Then use `hash -r` to fix it. Off-topic, but I just read a recounting of a guy recovering a system from a fork bomb, so he could only use shell builtins. And of course some sysadmin had aliased type to which, hanging the shell. So follow Brandon's advice, and don't alias type.
