Hi John, I just got around to installing the downloaded hackage mirror, and I noticed that its structure is different than the one that I downloaded last June -- in the old one there are files

00-index.cache

00-index.tar

and a bunch of subdirectories, one per package. Within each of those is a version subdirectory which contains a cabal file and a tar.gz file of the package files.

In the new one there are files

00-checksums.bak

00-checksums.dat

00-index.tar.gz

and a directory called package

That directory contains directories called package-name-version

and a corresponding file called package-name-version.tar.gz

one for each package and version

My version of cabal 1.22 doesn't understand that.  Do I need a new version of cabal, or do I have to process the files somehow?

I committed a fix very recently to the 'pipes' branch that you may need, since
there is one package on Hackage that is missing and thus cannot be downloaded.
