Hi,
cabal-install version 0.8.2
using version 1.8.0.2 of the Cabal library
This bug was originally reported by a Debian user.
the `cabal' executable, when run on the attached sample library, chooses
base 3.0.3.2:
$ cabal -v configure
[...]
Configuring foobar-0.0...
Dependency base ==3.0.3.2: using base-3.0.3.2
[...]
whereas, the library (via Setup.hs) correctly gets base 4.2.0.0, probably
due to ghc's hiding of the earlier version
$ runhaskell Setup.hs -v configure
Configuring foobar-0.0...
Dependency base -any: using base-4.2.0.0
[...]
cabal-install should probably perform the same hiding that ghc does.
Cheers,
Iain
