Bootstrap failure network-uri <2.6

[k-bx]

Hi!

If you clone this repo https://github.com/k-bx/docker-ghc-7.8 and run sudo docker build . you will (probably) see following error upon ./bootstrap.sh stage:

Configuring cabal-install-1.20.0.4...
Setup: At least the following dependencies are missing:
network-uri <2.6

Error during cabal-install bootstrap:
Configuring the cabal-install package failed.
2014/12/26 04:38:40 The command [/bin/sh -c ./bootstrap.sh] returned a non-zero code: 2

Please check it out.

I think it's a known issue.

@tibbe, can you please comment?

Just fixed with a new 1.18 and 1.20 cabal-install release.

Is this error related to same issue (1.20.0.5)?

Preprocessing library network-uri-2.5.0.0...
haddock: No input file(s).

Error during cabal-install bootstrap:
Documenting the network-uri package failed.

@kaiko I saw that error once but I could reproduce it. Which version of GHC and Haddock do you have installed? I can bootstrap using

$ haddock --version
Haddock version 2.14.3, (c) Simon Marlow 2006
Ported to use the GHC API by David Waern 2006-2008
$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.8.3

Confirming: Bootstrapping 1.20.0.5 works.

@kaiko Fixed. I didn't notice that 1.18 and 1.20 handles docs differently. I fixed 1.20 with yet another release.

1.20.0.6 works.
1.18.0.5 works.
Inital error still arises for 1.18.0.6 and 1.18.0.7 (Setup: At least the following dependencies are missing: network <2.5).

Dockerfile:

RUN cd cabal-* && ./bootstrap.sh --global
RUN cabal update

@kaiko I've release cabal-install-1.18.0.8, hopefully fixing the issue.
