[Haskell-cafe] cabal install choosing an older version

[Ozgur Akgun]

Hi,

I noticed a weird behaviour with cabal-install. When I run `cabal install
hspec --dry-run -v` cabal-install correctly picks hspec-1.4.3 (the latest
version).

However, when I run `cabal install ansi-terminal hspec --dry-run
-v`cabal-install tries to install hspec-0.3.0 for no apparent reason.

This is with a clean user package db.

Following is some info about my system.


$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.6.1

$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 1.16.0.2
using version 1.16.0.3 of the Cabal library

$ ghc-pkg list --user

$ cabal install hspec --dry-run -v
