I'm running a VM with Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat). I installed Darcs 2.4.4 using apt-get, but it keeps CONSTANTLY failing with the error message darcs: bug at src/URL.hs:246 compiled Sep 12 2010 20:24:56 Another possible bug in URL.waitNextUrl: curl_multi_perform() - no running handles See http://wiki.darcs.net/BugTracker/Reporting for help on bug reporting. Does anybody have any clue how I can get the hell rid of this stupid message and actually get some stuff done? (At this point, Darcs has hung, and I have to use the kill command with just the right signal number to make Darcs exit. Ctrl+C just tells me "Couldn't handle interrupt since darcs was in a sensitive job." So every single time this error happens, I have to get a process list, find Darcs, issue the kill command, and then reissue the original Darcs command and hope it actually completes this time...)
This question is more appropriate on the darcs-users mailing list. I've
CC'd your message there.

Andrew, Thanks for your report. Indeed, please direct future reports to darcs-users or bugs@darcs.net

I think this was resolved in darcs-2.5 [1]. If not, it's at least resolved in what will become Darcs 2.8. Unfortunately, our release notes don't mention it [2], so I'm not 100% sure Cheers, Eric [1] http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1770 [2] http://wiki.darcs.net/Releases/2.5 -- Eric Kow http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow For a faster response, try +44 (0)1273 64 2905 or xmpp:kowey@jabber.fr (Jabber or Google Talk only)

That would require me to sign up to yet another mailing list just to report one bug. And given that we're talking about a prebuilt binary being trivially broken out-of-the-box, presumably it's already a widely known bug.

Right. So 2.4.4 is broken, and I just need a newer version? Presumably the only way to do that would be to build one. (?) As I understand it, apt-get and similar tools are designed to 100% prevent you having any choice whatsoever over the version numbers of stuff that gets installed. On the other hand, presumably cabal-install will happily build anything I ask it to...

Just so you know, that's not true in this case. Anyone can send to bugs@darcs and darcs-users was still using human moderators last I checked. Jason

Not all Linux package managers provide one version and one version only (though admittedly most do). -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
