Hi Cafe, I just installed the brand new Haskell Platform 2012.4.0.0 for Mac OS X, 32 bit, after removing everything left over from the old one (I hope). Next I started cabal which said to me:

Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org Note: there is a new version of cabal-install available. To upgrade, run: cabal install cabal-install

So next I did cabal install cabal-install which started working

Resolving dependencies... Downloading Cabal-1.16.0.2...

and finished with

Installing executable(s) in /Users/bo/Library/Haskell/ghc-7.4.2/lib/cabal-install-1.16.0.1/bin Updating documentation index /Users/bo/Library/Haskell/doc/index.html

When I then tried cabal update it still said

Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org Note: there is a new version of cabal-install available. To upgrade, run: cabal install cabal-install

I thought I just had done that. What could have gone wrong?

Haralds-iMac:~ bo$ which cabal /Users/bo/Library/Haskell/bin/cabal Haralds-iMac:~ bo$ ls -l `which cabal` lrwxr-xr-x 1 bo staff 49 6 Nov 18:15 /Users/bo/Library/Haskell/bin/cabal -> ../ghc-7.4.2/lib/cabal-install-1.16.0.1/bin/cabal

Now that I am writing this up I am noticing that the last thing that seems to be installed has version number 1.16.0.1, while it started out with 1.16.0.2. So on a second thought I am attaching the full log of the install. Am I doing anything wrong?
