Hint & Cabal Install weirdness.
I'm attempting to install hint, I started by doing: cabal install hint and it gives me the following error: cabal: dependencies conflict: ghc-6.10.1 requires process ==1.0.1.1 however process-1.0.1.1 was excluded because ghc-6.10.1 requires process ==1.0.1.0 So I decided to try installing it via darcs, expecting to either have it work, or boil it down to one or two dependencies that were causing the problem, my hunch was right, it boils down to the ghc-mtl package, leading to the same error as above. My question is, how can I fix this? Doing a ghc-pkg hide on either process package breaks Cabal and Haddock (among others) according to the error message, and even after that happens, cabal complains about needing ghc >= 6.6 (or 6.8, depending on which package I disable), even though I have ghc 6.10. Detailed system info follows, help me haskell-cafe-kenobi(s), you're (all) my only hope(s)!

That seems to be *the* most frequent problem this year. Duncan Coutts explained the matter in http://haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2009-January/054523.html Hopefully one of the process packages is in the user db, if both are in the global db, it might be necessary to reinstall ghc.

Unregistering and then reinstalling the packages it broke seems to have fixed it, Thanks Dan! /Joe Daniel Fischer wrote:
