[Haskell] problem installing Stack on Ubuntu Virtual Machine

[Nikos Karagiannidis]

Hi all,

I am tryning to install Stack on an 64-bit Ubuntu VM (Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS).

I have followed strictly all the steps that are mentioned in:

https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/install_and_upgrade/#ubuntu

the installation completes OK and I get the following stack version
installed:

*$ stack --version*
*Version 1.2.0, Git revision 241cd07d576d9c0c0e712e83d947e3dd64541c42 (4054
commits) x86_64 hpack-0.14.0*

But, when I run "stack setup"  it tries to update package index and then it
stucks there forever!

*$ stack setup*
*Run from outside a project, using implicit global project config*
*Using resolver: lts-7.11 from implicit global project's config file:
/home/nikos/.stack/global-project/stack.yaml*
*Updating package index Hackage (mirrored at
https://github.com/commercialhaskell/all-cabal-hashes.git
<https://github.com/commercialhaskell/all-cabal-hashes.git>) ...*

any suggestions?

thank you in advance!

Nikos
