Hello, I recently started using cabal-install to install packages. However, ran into a problem today trying to install ftphs where the current HUnit dependency required base (==4). I'm using ghc-6.8.2 on ubuntu. To get around this, I looked through previous versions of HUnit and found that 1.2.0.0 was the last to have a successful build with ghc-6.8. So, I downloaded the tar.gz and did a runhaskell Setup.hs ... This worked and I was able to complete the ftphs install. So my question is, could I have used cabal install to specify the specific version of HUnit without having to do the manual download/configure/build/install?

Right, that's the 6.10 version of base.

Yes, you should be able to say "cabal install HUnit-1.2.0.0" or so.
