Public bug reported:
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 beta ("Precise"), and stumbled into this bug:
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2011-August/094883.html
when a new version of the bytestring library was added to Hackage. Any
cabal operation fails with
Reading available packages...
Resolving dependencies...
cabal: Couldn't read cabal file "bytestring/0.9.2.1/bytestring.cabal"
The workaround from the link above, works:
tar -f ~/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org/00-index.tar --delete
bytestring/0.9.2.1
Although hopefully, we'll avoid packages that trigger this bug in the
future, it would be better if Ubuntu would upgrade the cabal version to
a newer one that doesn't display this behavior.
