Cabal unexpected behaviour when upgrading












1














ramiro@omfg-hello:~$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 1.24.0.2
compiled using version 1.24.2.0 of the Cabal library
ramiro@omfg-hello:~$ sudo cabal install cabal-install --force-reinstalls
[sudo] password for ramiro:
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring cabal-install-2.4.0.0...
Building cabal-install-2.4.0.0...
Installed cabal-install-2.4.0.0
ramiro@omfg-hello:~$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 1.24.0.2
compiled using version 1.24.2.0 of the Cabal library


Indeed i wasn't expecting something like this. I'm stunned.



Edit:



Fixed with @duplode comment



Further edit:



Anybody knows why i'm still getting this?



ramiro@omfg-hello:~/Haskell/happstack-server$ sudo cabal new-test all
cabal: unrecognised command: new-test (try --help)


At least i get the correct cabal version now



ramiro@omfg-hello:~/Haskell/happstack-server$ cabal --v
cabal-install version 2.4.0.0
compiled using version 2.4.0.1 of the Cabal library


EditN :



ramiro@omfg-hello:~/Haskell/happstack-server$ cabal new-build
/home/ramiro/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org: openBinaryTempFileWithDefaultPermissions: permission denied (Permission denied)
ramiro@omfg-hello:~/Haskell/happstack-server$ sudo cabal new-build
[sudo] password for ramiro:
Up to date
ramiro@omfg-hello:~/Haskell/happstack-server$


Non-sudo vs sudo.

    (1) Do not use sudo to run cabal. With typical workflows, cabal-install is meant to be ran from your regular user account. (2) Make sure $HOME/.cabal/bin, the default location for executables installed with cabal-install, appears in your PATH before the system-wide location of your preexisting cabal-install. (3) Remember you can check where the executable actually is with which cabal.

  • @duplode Your suggestions worked, thanks! but do you know how to solve my updated problem? the whole point of upgrading cabal was to run the command new-test

  • "Won't work without sudo atm" -- Exactly how does it fail? If cabal --v and which cabal show you are indeed using the 2.4.0.0 version installed in your home directory, cabal new-test should, in principle, also work.
