Hi, after updating to cabal-install-0.8.0/Cabal-1.8.0.2 with GHC 6.10.4, I always get an error when updating the package list: > cabal update Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org cabal: Codec.Compression.Zlib: premature end of compressed stream Is there a way to fix this without rebuilding from the latest darcs repo? Best wishes, Maciej

Does removing ~/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org/00-index.tar.gz help? Did you overwrite your old cabal-binary. If not, does this binary also fail? (I think everything under ~/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org can be savely deleted and will be downloaded again if needed.) Which architecture you're on? Cheers Christian

Removing this file doesn't help. The old version was cabal-install-0.6.2 + Cabal-1.6.0.2 with GHC 6.10.3. I deleted it because I changed to GHC 6.10.4, but it worked fine 2 days ago.

Sorry, I've got no further idea (except reinstalling everything). http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/562 may be related. Did your installation of cabal-install-0.8.0 also reinstall HTTP and zlib packages? Good luck Christian Maciej Podgurski schrieb:

Yes, I installed the latest versions of that packages. Now I tried to gradually go back to the versions before (HTTP-4000.0.9 to 4000.0.7 and zlib-0.5.2.0 to 0.5.0.0), without any success. Finally cabal-install made it at version 0.6.2, so the problem really seems to be at cabal-install-0.8.0.

Good luck Christian

I had the same problem on Windows XP when doing cabal install cabal-install. I fixed it by just replacing the cabal-install executable by the old one used in the haskell platform. Cheers, Bas On 19 February 2010 16:11, Maciej Podgurski

But the platform only includes cabal-install-0.6.2. My intention was getting the merge-all-package-documentation-into-single-html feature :-) Best wishes, Maciej Am 19.02.2010 16:50 schrieb Bas van Gijzel:

Hello, I guess I did the follwoing to bypass this problems. With the platform provided* cabal.exe at first place in the PATH variable, I run: - cabal update - cabal install cabal-install-0.6.4 The only thing remaining was, I had the Cabal-1.8.0.2 and related entries in my local package.conf file then, from the former installation of cabal-install-0.8.0 - which failed when doing `cabal update` as you described. I decided to remove those entries/packages, although they seemed to cause no issues, when blindly testing some package installations with cabal-install-0.6.4.

Would you please send the output of `cabal update -v3' command? -- vvv

This is a public service announcement: Windows users should upgrade to cabal-install-0.8.2 Windows binary available here http://haskell.org/cabal/download.html I'll also be included in the upcoming release of the Haskell Platform. Sorry about the silly bug. Duncan
