Cabal-1.10.1.0 and bytestring-0.9.2.1 hackage problem.
That Cabal-1.10.1.0 bug seems to be back, now with bytestring-0.9.2.1 just uploaded to hackage. Same workaround as last time works (or maybe its time to upgrade...). For more info see: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2011-August/094883.html Thanks, Alan

Thanks for the link! I was banging my head on against the virtual wall, since all I'm getting is: % cabal install -v biopsl Reading available packages... Resolving dependencies... cabal: Couldn't read cabal file "bytestring/0.9.2.1/bytestring.cabal" It's not exactly obvious what this error message means.
Same workaround as last time works
I.e: tar -f ~/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org/00-index.tar --delete bytestring/0.9.2.1 This is the cabal-install shipped with Ubuntu 12.04 (i.e. the unreleased beta, which will become the new LTS in April), so buggy or not, it ought not to be broken if we can avoid it. I've filed a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/haskell-cabal-install/+bug/925967 -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants

This will only work until the next 'cabal update', right? Does anyone have a better workaround?

It's also the cabal-install shipped with Ubuntu 11.10, i.e. the current version that everyone uses. So it would be nice if the offending version could also be removed from hackage or something similar to prevent this problem for everyone. Erik
