Re: [Haskell-cafe] Fwd: How to do automatic reinstall of all dependencies?

I think --reinstall only reinstalls the package you are actually installing, not the dependencies. You could try using a sandboxing tool, like cabal-dev. Then you just do 'cabal-dev install', and when you want to reinstall everything, you do 'rm cabal-dev/' to wipe the sandbox and start over.

Hi all,

Does anyone know why the following is not working, as an automatic way of reinstalling all dependencies?:

dbanas@dbanas-lap:~/prj/AMI-Tool$ cabal install --only-dependencies --reinstall --force-reinstalls parsec Resolving dependencies... All the requested packages are already installed: Use --reinstall if you want to reinstall anyway. dbanas@dbanas-lap:~/prj/AMI-Tool$

Thanks, -db
