cabal -v3 update will give you a more verbose version of what is going wrong. cabal --help regrettably, cabal --help doesn't tell you this but there is always the man page I suppose. 2009/7/16 Tony Hannan :

Hello,

I'm on Ubuntu 8.10. I installed ghc 6.10.4 (from binary package: ghc-6.10.4-i386-unknown-linux-n.tar.bz2). I installed haskell-platform-2009.2.0.1 (from source package: haskell-platform-2009.2.0.1.tar.gz). It contains cabal-install-0.6.2.

Then when I run "cabal update", I get the following error: cabal:  : openFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

Any ideas?

Thanks, Tony
