----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Reporter: duncan | Owner:

Priority: low | Milestone:
Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.8.0.6
Severity: normal | Keywords:
Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.10.4
Platform: Linux |
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------

Comment:
I got
{{{
$ cabal install
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring alsa-core-0.5.0.1...
cabal: parsing output of pkg-config --modversion failed
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
alsa-core-0.5.0.1 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
}}}
because
{{{
$ pkg-config --modversion alsa
1.0.14a
}}}
I remember that Cabal had functions for parsing version numbers with tags,
would this help here?
Newer ALSA versions do not seem to have the version tag anymore.
