InstallPlan: internal error: configured package depends on a non-library

[hvr]

How to reproduce (may need a patched zip-archive to workaround #3394) on Linux:

$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 1.25.0.0
compiled using version 1.25.0.0 of the Cabal library 

$ cabal get stack-1.1.0
$ cd stack-1.1.0/
$ rm -rf ~/.cabal/store/ghc-7.10.3/
$ cabal new-build -w /opt/ghc/7.10.3/bin/ghc -j1
...
...9 minutes later...

cabal new-build -j1 can be restarted a few times, and it manages to build a couple of packages each time...

[BardurArantsson]

Just to add a data point: I've observed a very similar error message when building using setup-dev.sh... which isn't using new-build, so it may be unrelated to new-build per se. I only observed the one failure, and then restarting the build (disabling the sandbox removal, etc.) got through the rest of the build.

Last time this happened: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/3345 but the issue reported there should have been fixed.

I think I've identified the problem. If I'm right I'll be blaming @ezyang ;-), erm I'll be blaming lack of test coverage :-)

Well do share ;)

@ezyang it's one of those annoying foo vs foo' errors.

So this should now be fixed. Please re-open if you disagree or find other cases of this.
