L.S.,
I was trying to install a package from a local drive and got the following message:
cabal install Resolving dependencies... cabal: internal error when reading package index: could not read tar file entryThe package index or index cache is probably corrupt. Running cabal update might fix it.
Then I tried cabal update:
cabal update Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org Skipping download: Local and remote files match. Note: there is a new version of cabal-install available. To upgrade, run: cabal install cabal-install
Trying the command cabal install cabal-install gave the same internal error message as for the first command.
What can I do about this?
Maybe try deleting the current download? Namely ~/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org/00-index.*
