Dear Haskellers and especially who are working on cabal-install and debian packaging, I sometimes clean up .ghc and .cabal in my home directory to start from scratch because of dependency loopholes (cabal-install does not have remove option yet, so it's hard to fix when such loophole happens). Today, I had some time in the airport and decided to start from scratch again because of the dependency loophole with process 1.0.1.1 and haddock. I downloaded the most recent version of cabal-install the version 0.6.2, and found out that the ./bootstrap.sh does not work. So, I had to bootstrap from version 0.6.2 and do "cabal update" and "cabal upgrade cabal-install" to upgrade to 0.6.2. I am not sure whether this is a cabal-install problem or debian dstribution ghc-6.10.1 packaging probelm, since I have not tried to test this with any other ghc-6.10.1 distribution. If anyone who are not using debian distribution ghc-6.10.1 (e.g., general linux binary ghc-6.10.1 or source compiled one) can try bootstrapping cabal-install 0.6.2 from scratch also finds the same problem, I think someone should make a ticket for cabal-install.
