I had the same problem on Windows XP when doing cabal install cabal-install. I fixed it by just replacing the cabal-install executable by the old one used in the haskell platform.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Bas<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Sorry, I&#39;ve got no further idea (except reinstalling everything).<br>

Did your installation of cabal-install-0.8.0 also reinstall HTTP and<br>
zlib packages?<br>
  <br>

Yes, I installed the latest versions of that packages. Now I tried to gradually go back to the versions before (HTTP-4000.0.9 to 4000.0.7 and zlib-0.5.2.0 to 0.5.0.0), without any success. Finally cabal-install made it at version 0.6.2, so the problem really seems to be at cabal-install-0.8.0.<div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
after updating to cabal-install-0.8.0/Cabal-1.8.0.2 with GHC 6.10.4, I<br>
always get an error when updating the package list:<br>
<br>
   &gt; cabal update<br>
   Downloading the latest package list from <a href="http://hackage.haskell.org" target="_blank">hackage.haskell.org</a><br>
   cabal: Codec.Compression.Zlib: premature end of compressed stream<br>
<br>
Is there a way to fix this without rebuilding from the latest darcs<br>
repo?<br>
            <br>

Does removing ~/.cabal/packages/<a href="http://hackage.haskell.org/00-index.tar.gz" target="_blank">hackage.haskell.org/00-index.tar.gz</a><br>
help? Did you overwrite your old cabal-binary. If not, does this binary<br>
also fail?<br>
        <br>
</blockquote>
Removing this file doesn&#39;t help. The old version was cabal-install-0.6.2<br>
+ Cabal-1.6.0.2 with GHC 6.10.3. I deleted it because I changed to GHC<br>
6.10.4, but it worked fine 2 days ago.<br>

(I think everything under ~/.cabal/packages/<a href="http://hackage.haskell.org" target="_blank">hackage.haskell.org</a> can be<br>
savely deleted and will be downloaded again if needed.)<br>
<br>
Which architecture you&#39;re on?<br>
