#864: worldfile written with incorrect case
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: benmachine | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: cabal-install tool | Version: HEAD
Severity: normal | Keywords:
Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion:
Platform: |
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
If I issue a command like `cabal install bindings-dsl`, cabal will happily
install `bindings-DSL` and write `bindings-dsl` to the world file. Then
when I `cabal install --dry-run world`, I get
{{{
Warning: The following 'world' packages will be ignored because they refer
to
packages that cannot be found: bindings-dsl
}}}
This seems to be because of the discrepancies in capitalisation -- the
world file is case-sensitive, the install command isn't.
