Hi, my mass-building stopped with all remaining packages uninstallable, so I investigated, and indeed it happened again: haskell-crypto-pubkey-types-0.4.0 was uploaded without its reverse dependencies upgraded to support that version. What is worse is that there seems to be no released version of haskell-certficiate that supports 0.4 yet (the latest, 1.3.7, explicitly disallows 0.4: http://hdiff.luite.com/cgit/certificate/commit/?id=7b9eae9ed933b259f55b2d3de09a952776e2fa6d ) So now we are stuck with a bunch of haskell packages in unstable uninstallable and have to wait for upstream to act: https://github.com/vincenthz/hs-certificate/issues/20 This is precisely why we have introduced the all-packages.cabal file: So that, _before uploading_, you can plan your upgrades and see if hackage provides a consistent set. If, before uploading crypto-pubkey-types-0.4 and crypto-pubkey-0.1.4 one would have applied that change to all-packages.cabal and ran "cabal install --dry-run --force-reinstall" it would have told you: Resolving dependencies... cabal: Could not resolve dependencies: trying: all-packages-0 trying: crypto-pubkey-types-0.4.0 rejecting: cryptocipher-0.5.0, 0.4.0, 0.3.7 (conflict: all-packages => cryptocipher(==0.3.6)) rejecting: cryptocipher-0.3.6 (conflict: crypto-pubkey-types==0.4.0, cryptocipher => crypto-pubkey-types>=0.2 && <0.3) rejecting: cryptocipher-0.3.5, 0.3.4, 0.3.3, 0.3.2, 0.3.1, 0.3.0, 0.2.14, 0.2.13, 0.2.12, 0.2.11, 0.2.10, 0.2.9, 0.2.8, 0.2.7, 0.2.6, 0.2.5, 0.2.4, 0.2.3, 0.2.2, 0.2.1, 0.2, 0.1 (conflict: all-packages => cryptocipher(==0.3.6)) i.e. that cryptocipher would have to be updated as well. Then one can review the new versions of that on http://hdiff.luite.com/cgit/cryptocipher/ and notice that 0.5.0 is the first version that is compatible with crypto-pubkey-types (simply because the dependency is dropped). So you change the entry of cryptocipher in all-packages.cabal as well and continue, until you either have a consistent set that you can _then_ upload, or notice that the upgrade you started with is not possible yet.
