You may need to install some dependencies first - using the old cabal-install worked fine for me for this, but maybe it secretly corrupted something behind the scenes. I haven't had trouble so far.

Hi!

I just did `sudo make install` on ghc 7.10.1-rc1, removed ~/.ghc and did `cabal update`. I'm now trying to upgrade to latest cabal by issuing `cabal install cabal-install`. I get the following:

``` ... on the commandline: Warning: -package-name is deprecated: Use -this-package-key instead ghc: ghc no longer supports single-file style package databases (dist/package.conf.inplace) use 'ghc-pkg init' to create the database with the correct format. Failed to install zlib-0.5.4.2 cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: HTTP-3001.0.4 depends on text-1.2.0.3 which failed to install. cabal-install-0.4.0 depends on zlib-0.5.4.2 which failed to install. mtl-2.2.1 failed during the building phase. The exception was: ExitFailure 1 network-2.6.0.2 failed during the building phase. The exception was: ExitFailure 1 parsec-3.1.7 depends on text-1.2.0.3 which failed to install. text-1.2.0.3 failed during the building phase. The exception was: ExitFailure 1 zlib-0.5.4.2 failed during the building phase. The exception was: ExitFailure 1 ```

Does anyone know a quick-fix?

Thanks!

I ended up installing both Cabal and cabal-install (from GitHub) using ghc 7.8.4. After that things seemed to get better with ghc 7.10 RC1 (which was using my newly created cabal-install command-line tool with the Cabal libs from ghc 7.10). Or at least, I think that's how I got it working. HTH, Doug On Fri, Dec 26, 2014 at 7:05 PM, Konstantine Rybnikov wrote:

Glad it helped. Doug On Sat, Dec 27, 2014 at 6:23 PM, Konstantine Rybnikov wrote:

Yes, it seems installing latest cabal under ghc 7.8 first and upgrading to 7.10 afterwards is the way to go.

Thanks!
