What is the actual problem / error message you're facing? The postinst script for cabal fails if you've unregistered cabal? Which version of ghc6 are you using? Why do you want to unregister cabal without removing it? Which version of cabal are you actually trying to unregister? The two versions should be able to coexist, and if you don't want them to coexist, then you should remove the package rather than unregistering it w/ ghc-pkg, or unregister cabal-1.0 before installing the package. > The configuration script should remove cabal 1.0 before installing > cabal 1.1.3. The configure script should definitely not remove cabal 1.0, but ghc-pkg should probably hide previous versions. With ghc 6.4.1, I believe this is the case. peace, isaac
