Description
The following cabal file below triggers an assertion fail on the second install:
$ cabal --version cabal-install version 0.13.3 using version 1.13.3 of the Cabal library $ cabal install Resolving dependencies... Configuring foobar-0.2.0... Building foobar-0.2.0... Preprocessing library foobar-0.2.0... [1 of 1] Compiling FooBar ( FooBar.hs, dist/build/FooBar.o ) [1 of 1] Compiling FooBar ( FooBar.hs, dist/build/FooBar.p_o ) Registering foobar-0.2.0... Installing library in /home/hvr/.cabal/lib/foobar-0.2.0/ghc-7.2.2 Registering foobar-0.2.0... $ cabal install Resolving dependencies... Configuring foobar-0.2.0... cabal: Distribution/Simple/PackageIndex.hs:123:8-13: Assertion failed
Only when I unregister the installed package via ghc-pkg unregister foobar I can configure the package again...
The cabal file causing this behaviour:
name: foobar version: 0.2.0-git20111120 synopsis: none license: BSD3 license-file: LICENSE author: foo maintainer: foo@bar build-type: Simple cabal-version: >=1.10 library default-language: Haskell2010 exposed-modules: FooBar build-depends: base
The FooBar module is just a dummy empty module. This used to work previously, e.g. with
$ cabal-0.11.2 --version cabal-install version 0.11.2 using version 1.12.0 of the Cabal library
