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?
Maybe try deleting the current download? Namely
~/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org/00-index.*
