Hmm,****
Now when I tried to run Leksah, I get not only some broken packages (which I can avoid for my current project), but:****
** **
<command line>: cannot satisfy -package-id base-4.5.1.0-7c83b96f47f23db63c42a56351dcb917: ****
base-4.5.1.0-7c83b96f47f23db63c42a56351dcb917 is unusable due to missing or recursive dependencies:****
integer-gmp-0.4.0.0-c15e185526893c3119f809251aac8c5b****
(use -v for more information)****
** **
So I tried to install base, then re-install it, but both fail;****
Any hints?
From this email and some of the previous emails it seems that your package DB is in a pretty bad state, most likely from using --force-reinstalls. When Cabal warns you that this will break stuff it actually means it. :) My suggestion is that you
rm -rf ~/.ghc/x86_64-linux-7.6.1 # or equivalent on your system. Then reinstall all the packages you want by listing them all at once cabal install pkg1 pkg2 pk3 By listing them all together cabal-install tries to come up with an install plan that is globally consistent for all of them. -- Johan
