That is probably how people are getting into this mess. Using upgrade is not necessarily such a good idea. It does not distinguish between the interesting packages you might want to upgrade and the core packages that your probably do not want to touch.

There's no need to use cabal upgrade to get into this kind of mess, I successfully pulled conflicting cabal versions just by using cabal install.

Indeed, it's just easier to shoot yourself in the foot using upgrade. Would anyone object if I disable the upgrade command in the next version and not re-enable it until it works? Duncan
