Please create a package description file .cabal }}} Looks like Cabal tries to do a build instead so I tried it in a directory with a .cabal file: {{{ $ cd hyena $ cabal upgrade Configuring hyena-0.1.0... Preprocessing library hyena-0.1.0... Preprocessing executables for hyena-0.1.0...

Saving old package config file... done. Writing new package config file... done. }}} Instead of upgrading my installed packages it installed ''this'' package! Here are Cabal and cabal-install versions: {{{ $ cabal --version cabal-install version 0.4.4 using version 1.3.7 of the Cabal library }}} I've synced from HEAD today. Here are the latest patches I'm using. Cabal: {{{ Wed Mar 12 21:39:47 CET 2008 Duncan Coutts * Fix search dirs used for pre-processing executables }}} and for cabal-install: {{{ Wed Mar 12 14:53:35 CET 2008 Duncan Coutts * Parse filepaths in the config file the same way as in .cabal files }}} ",defect,closed,normal,Cabal-1.4,cabal-install tool,HEAD,normal,fixed,,,normal,6.8.2,Linux
