L.S.,

I was trying to install a package from a local drive and got the following message:
  >cabal install
  Resolving dependencies...
  cabal: internal error when reading package index: could not read tar file
  entryThe package index or index cache is probably corrupt. Running cabal
  update might fix it.

Then I tried cabal update:
  >cabal update
  Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org
  Skipping download: Local and remote files match.
  Note: there is a new version of cabal-install available.
  To upgrade, run: cabal install cabal-install

Trying the command
  cabal install cabal-install
gave the same internal error message as for the first command.

What can I do about this?

Regards,
Henk-Jan van Tuyl
