It might be that it both your own package and the dependencies cabal
tries to reinstall all depend on some package P. If the dependencies
are installed depending on P version 1, but to satisfy all
dependencies for your own package, cabal needs them to depend on P
version 2, cabal will reinstall them (possibly breaking other packages
that depend on them; is this a bug?)
You can see if this is the case by running 'cabal install --dry-run -v'.

Hello cafe,
When I want to locally install my own package through "cabal install" it tries to reinstall dependencies convertible-1.0.9.1, HDBC-2.2.6.1 and HDBC-mysql-0.6.3 even though they are already installed (and work fine). Why does it do this?
cabal-install version 0.8.2 using version 1.8.0.2 of the Cabal library Mac OS Leopard
Thanks,
Martijn. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
