Невозможно обновить Кабал себя

Question

Я пытаюсь обновить Cabal на Linux:

$ cabal --version 
cabal-install version 1.16.0.2 
using version 1.16.0 of the Cabal library 

И я получаю много ошибок:

$ cabal install cabal cabal-install

Answer 1

Скорее всего, что произошло в том, что вы модернизированную GHC и GHC 7.10 требует Cabal 1.22, в противном случае появляется ошибка ghc: ghc no longer supports single-file style package databases (dist/package.conf.inplace) use 'ghc-pkg init' to create the database with the correct format.. Так как вы на Ubuntu вы можете установить cabal-install из the PPA:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:hvr/ghc 
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install cabal-install-1.22 

Поскольку PPA установить местоположение не в PATH можно либо добавить /opt/cabal/1.22/bin в свой PATH, или необязательно запускать /opt/cabal/1.22/bin/cabal install cabal, если вы предпочитаете иметь все ваши двоичные файлы Haskell в одном месте, а затем удалите cabal-install с apt-get.

В противном случае существуют бинарные файлы, доступные по адресу haskell.org.
