Hi, From a clean install of Haskell Platform 2012.4.0.0 (on Windows) I have issued just:
cabal update cabal install cabal-install cabal install cabal-dev
The last command fails with: Resolving dependencies... In order, the following would be installed: tar-0.3.2.0 (new package) transformers-0.2.2.0 (new version) mtl-2.0.1.0 (new version) parsec-3.1.3 (reinstall) changes: mtl-2.1.2 -> 2.0.1.0 network-2.3.2.0 (new version) HTTP-4000.2.8 (new version) cabal-dev-0.9.1 (new package) cabal: The following packages are likely to be broken by the reinstalls: network-2.3.1.0 haskell-platform-2012.4.0.0 cgi-3001.1.7.4 HTTP-4000.2.5 Use --force-reinstalls if you want to install anyway. I *think* the problem is that cabal-dev has these dependencies: mtl >= 1.1 && < 2.1, transformers >= 0.2 && < 0.3, where the latest version of mtl and transformers are 2.1.2 and 0.3 respectively. At least, if I download the latest cabal-dev package and relax those upper bounds I can get it to install. The irony is, of course, that I'm trying to install cabal-dev to get me out of a totally unrelated dependencies hole! What should I do now?

Hello David, what I did is get cabal-dev from source (git clone git://
github.com/creswick/cabal-dev.git). This build fine, the upper bounds have
been edited. Hopefully the new version will be released soon.

Thanks, good to hear. With a bit of digging I've also managed to find and fix the upper bound that was causing my other dependency problem - priority-queue can depend on containers < 0.5 rather than < 0.4. I've been in touch with the maintainer, James Cook, who says (a) he'll try and get round to releasing a new version with this upper bound relaxed, and (b) there are more specialised implementations of priority queues these days that will be more performant, so I should prefer those.

The version of cabal-dev on Hackage doesn't work with recent versions of
Haskell due to https://github.com/creswick/cabal-dev/issues/74 - You have
to install from a recent git checkout.
These instructions were done on Mac but should be straightforward enough to
do the same on Windows:
