[Haskell-cafe] Re: Why does cabal unnecessarily reinstall dependencies?

I've noticed that ghc-6.10.4 did not work well with cabal-install version 0.8.2. (cabal install gtk did not work.) Everything was fine after I switched back to: cabal-install version 0.6.2 using version 1.6.0.3 of the Cabal library and removing the Cabal 1.8... library package.

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.
