</div>The latest released cabal-install does what you want here.<br>
<br>
$ cabal install cabal-install<br>

</div>That also works in the latest version.<br>
<br>
comparing,<br>
<br>
$ cabal install foo<br>
$ cabal upgrade foo<br>
<br>
both mean to get the latest 'foo'.<br>
<br>
The difference between install and upgrade is whether the dependencies<br>
are also upgraded or not. In Gentoo they call this 'deep' upgrades.<br>

We write that as just<br>
<br>
$ cabal upgrade<br>
