Help with cabal

[Simon Peyton Jones]

ok thanks.  But still, how can I tell it to look at fpcomplete instead? And why does it do so automatically on one machine but not on another?

Hi Simon,

Hackage on haskell.org is down: https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/b99cef/hackage_downtime/<https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2Fhaskell%2Fcomments%2Fb99cef%2Fhackage_downtime%2F&data=02%7C01%7Csimonpj%40microsoft.com%7C5f169c2750ca467d59ee08d6b8e3ce9f%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636899685894478524&sdata=zDY7Srj%2FL%2FCzMQe35b3YVyIsSLf5SMtiTugGl5SAJQU%3D&reserved=0>

Small problem.  I've installed cabal-3.0, and say "cabal update".  But I get

Unexpected response 502for http://hackage.haskell.org/timestamp.json<https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fhackage.haskell.org%2Ftimestamp.json&data=02%7C01%7Csimonpj%40microsoft.com%7C5f169c2750ca467d59ee08d6b8e3ce9f%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636899685894488516&sdata=94%2FqExpSPn0nc2XQb%2FZrtlQCrpvWacg2UPBvcXr0V%2B8%3D&reserved=0>

And indeed, that's what a web browser says for that same URL.

What do to?

Oddly, on another also-new Windows machine, I do exactly the same thing, and with 'cabal update -v' I can see that it gets the same error, but then moves on to try hackages.fpcomplete.com, which works.

Why does the behaviour differ?  And, at least for now, how can I get the first machine to look at hackage.fpcomplete.com?

Thanks

Simon
