[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#616732: cabal-install: New upstream version with important bugfixes

[Josh Triplett]

Package: cabal-install
Version: 0.8.0-1
Severity: important

Ran into this error installing the "network" package, which appears in
the dependency chain of many other packages:

[ 4 of 10] Compiling Network.Socket   ( dist/build/Network/Socket.hs, dist/build/Network/Socket.o )

Network/Socket.hsc:1701:11:
    Ambiguous occurrence `closeFdWith'
    It could refer to either `Network.Socket.closeFdWith',
                             defined at Network/Socket.hsc:1046:1
                          or `GHC.Conc.closeFdWith',
                             imported from GHC.Conc at Network/Socket.hsc:204:26-36

A quick search turned up this message, pointing at a cabal bug fixed in
current cabal:
