#834: cabal should detect case errors in build-depends:
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: cmh | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.8.0.6
Severity: normal | Keywords:
Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion:
Platform: |
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
for example, with a foo.cabal file containing:
build depends: http >= 4000
Resolving dependencies...
cabal: cannot configure foo-0.0.1. It requires http >=4000
There is no available version of http that satisfies >=4000
The solution is of course to specify HTTP, but the user may be led to
believe that there is a version problem, which is confusing.
Perhaps a message such as - "Did you mean package HTTP" - Would be
appropriate.
