Re: [Haskell-cafe] Packages all screwed up

Hi, Thanks for your answers.

I did

cabal upgrade yesod

As for the user/global issue, I think I tried a user install, this is default isn't it?

Looks like I will have to reinstall everything :-(

Well, since you went wrong with a user install you should be fine clearing out your user package DB. So you'll only need to reinstall most things :-) There might be a path forward, but I get frustrated easily with this sort of thing - I would have cleared by user package DB by no, I think.

Hello, I recently tried to upgrade some package (eg. yesod) and it seems that, in the process, I screwed up my Haskell packages setup. When I am trying to do a simple:

...

ghc --make Crete1941

What command(s) did you issue to "upgrade some packages?" Were you trying to do a user or global install?

When ghc loads packages, I've had cases where packages in the user db would shadow packages in the global db, causing *other* packages in the global db to report as "broken".

Thanks, Antoine
