I'm having trouble install from cabal on Debian-testing since the new beta released. % sudo aptitude remove --purge cabal-install % rm -rf $HOME/.cabal % sudo aptitude install cabal-install % cabal update % cabal install git-annex The output all follows this general syntax: depends on which failed to install On the flip side, I upgrade my Debian to sid and it installed just fine through aptitude. (Apologies for my English, and if this is simply a user error)
