lower bound of Cabal dependency is wrong #1

Closed osa1 closed 10 years ago

osa1 commented 10 years ago

Distribution.Simple.Test.LibV09 is added with 1.20.0.0, so >= 1.18 is not a correct lower bound.

Fixing that is still causing problems though. Pre-compiled GHC 7.8.3 binaries are linked with Cabal-1.18.1.3. So there's no way to compile test suite using pre-compiled GHC 7.8.3.

EDIT: I just realized that LibV09 is not directly referenced from packman. It's in the generated code dist/build/alltestsStub/alltestsStub-tmp/alltestsStub.hs. I think this is generated by cabal-install, which is newer than the version used to compile packman (because packman uses GHC and I installed it from pre-compiled binaries, which are linked with 1.18)

So in short, test program generation is done by system-wide installed cabal, but compilation of generated code is done using the version in the sandbox, which is 1.18.3, GHC requires that.

I'm closing this as this has nothing to do with packman. Sorry for the noise.
