Hi
I'm trying to upgrade darcs from 2.8.2 to 2.8.4 on OSX 10.8.2. I've somehow installed it through cabal (`which darcs` = "/Users/ashmoran/.cabal/bin/darcs").
I did a cabal update and that told me to upgrade cabal-install, but I got this error:
% cabal install cabal-install
Resolving dependencies...
The build-tool has reset ENV. --env=std required.
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
Cabal-1.16.0.3 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
cabal-install-1.16.0.2 depends on Cabal-1.16.0.3 which failed to install.
Does anybody know what this means? Sorry for the non-darcs related question, but the only reason I have cabal installed is to install darcs. I don't even remember how I installed Cabal now.
I'm also a bit puzzled why cabal tells me darcs is not installed:
% cabal list darcs
* darcs
Synopsis: a distributed, interactive, smart revision control system
Default available version: 2.8.4
Installed versions: [ Not installed ]
Homepage: http://darcs.net/
License: GPL
Actually installing darcs fails in a similar way to cabal:
% cabal install darcs
zsh: correct 'darcs' to '.darcs' [nyae]? n
