cabal install ghc-mod
produces these errors

This has been a known bug for some time1, and seems to be fixed six days ago, so update your cabal2:
> cabal update
> cabal install cabal cabal-install
> cabal install ghc-mod
However, if you don't want to jump on the cabal-git-train, you can still unpack, configure and install packages by hand. This will prevent the behaviour, since it is triggered by moving temporary dictionaries and name clashes:
> cabal unpack haskell-src-exts
> cd haskell-src-exts*
> cabal configure
> cabal build
> cabal install
1: since the bug has been reported on 22nd Feb, it seems to affect all versions from >= 1.18.* to < 1.20.0.3.
2: make sure that you really run the new version.

I'm completely new to Haskell and I'm trying to replicate the code.world environment locally, so I need to install codeworld-api so that I can import CodeWorld. The problem is that when I run cabal install codeworld-api, it fails, and the following errors occur:
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
codeworld-api-0.7.0-JVbla7smM91CfqAXV0vVqz depends on codeworld-api-0.7.0
which failed to install.
haskell-src-exts-1.23.1-Z8xb2tkymYIClPofvAOw3 failed during the configure

which failed to install.
reflex-0.8.1.0-5XPDDia7wXx4bpQRZBxYDv depends on reflex-0.8.1.0 which failed
to install.
I also tried to add codeworld-api in the build-depends section in .cabal, but nothing changes.
I've read this, but --allow-newer also does nothing.
I tried, with no success:
cabal update
cabal install Cabal cabal-install
cabal new-install codeworld-api
cabal new-build
codeworld-api also doesn't show up in ghc-pkg list.
I have no idea what's happening...

Im trying to install hsparql, cabal version 1.22.1.1
cabal install hsparql
gives
Could not find module `Network.URI'
It is a member of the hidden package `network-uri-2.6.0.1'.
Perhaps you need to add `network-uri' to the build-depends in your .cabal file.
Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.

but
cabal install network-uri

All the requested packages are already installed:

what could be the problem?
Deciding to learn Haskell, installed ghc on OS X via Homebrew (web binaries weren't downloading at the time).
All great, following along with Learn You a Haskell, but then decided to install some packages and see how things run.
cabal install clckwrks-cli was running fine until...
Public internet craps out half-way through install/build of a few projects.
Now, none of those programs will reinstall and in the case of clckwrks-cli, I get the following error:

Loving the language so far, NOT the package management :(
Cabal sandboxes are frequently recommended for development but work well for trying out some package quickly. If anything goes wrong they are easily disposable and don't affect any other packages you have already installed. Here is what I would do to try out clckwrks-cli (BTW, if you want to just try out any package you might to choose another package with less dependencies).
$ cd /path/to/sandboxes
$ cabal get clckwrks-cli
$ cd clckwrks-cli-<version>
$ cabal sandbox init
$ cabal install --only-dependencies -j<N> # N is the number of CPU cores
At this point you can type cabal run to run the executable installed by the package (which it'll probably be at ./dist/build/bin/), cabal test for running tests, or cabal repl in order to run a ghci session with the sandboxes packages available.
If anything goes wrong you can revert back the sandbox by typing cabal sandbox delete and cabal clean. When you are done you can safely remove the sandbox without affecting other packages.
Here is what worked for me in the past
For a package $f, do
ghc-pkg.exe unregister --global --force $f
ghc-pkg.exe recache
According to its documentation, ghc-pkg.exe unregister "unregisters a package" and recache "regenerate the package database cache". --global needs to be used if the package in question was installed in system directories.
In case the database is severely damaged, I would delete the user or system cabal directory and reinstall packages that I had. I usually do this by cabal install one or several of the application libraries that I use, and let cabal reinstall the dependencies. Note: the cabal directory depends on the OS and version of GHC.
ghc-pkg unregister --force clckwrks-cli
I was having trouble with unordered-containers-0.2.5.1 and deleting the file:
~/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org/unordered-containers/0.2.5.1/unordered-containers-0.2.5.1.tar.gz
fixed the problem for me. (i.e. the error cabal: data is not in tar format)
I am having lots of problems with cabal-install:
1: Every time I do cabal update, it tells me to do cabal install cabal-install, so I do, and then when I do cabal update again, it says the same thing.
2: When I try to install ghc-mod from hackage, it gives me this error:
[username#arch ~]$ cabal install ghc-mod
In order, the following will be installed:
haskell-src-exts-1.14.0 (reinstall) changes: pretty-1.1.1.1 -> 1.1.1.0
hlint-1.8.55 (reinstall)
ghc-mod-3.1.4
setup: The program happy version >=1.17 is required but it could not be found.
ghc-mod-3.1.4 depends on haskell-src-exts-1.14.0 which failed to install.
haskell-src-exts-1.14.0 failed during the configure step.
hlint-1.8.55 depends on haskell-src-exts-1.14.0 which failed to install.
So the problem was The program happy version >=1.17 is required but it could not be found., so I installed happy 1.19.2 using cabal install happy without problems.
I tried cabal install ghc-mod again, same error, so I tried cabal install haskell-src-exts --reinstall --force-reinstalls. It gave me the following error:
[username#arch ~]$ cabal install haskell-src-exts --reinstall --force-reinstalls
Configuring haskell-src-exts-1.14.0...
setup: The program happy version >=1.17 is required but it could not be found.
Failed to install haskell-src-exts-1.14.0
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
haskell-src-exts-1.14.0 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
Basically The program happy version >=1.17 is required but it could not be found.. So happy is the problem again?
I have also tried downloading the tar.gz files from hackage and using cabal install on the
.cabal file, also modified the .cabal file to ignore dependencies, still failed.
cabal install places executables in ~/.cabal/bin.
If you add it to your path, you will be able to use the new executables installed by cabal:
$ PATH=$HOME/.cabal/bin:$PATH
I encountered with same problem and I solved the problem with installing happy package(confusing package name). So install it with your package manager(apt-get, pacman etc) before install package with cabal. This should be fix the problem.
I just updated the haskel-plataform did a cabal update and was informed there is a new version of cabal-install that I should update to. So I do a cabal install cabal-install and get:
cabal: The following installed packages are broken because other packages they
depend on are missing. These broken packages must be rebuilt before they can
be used.
package random-1.0.1.1 is broken due to missing package
base-4.5.1.0-47f48c3ae7f8256a66a23e9dfe22eefc
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
cabal-install-1.16.0.2 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
The thing is that If I do cabal install random, I see that that version of random is already installed:
=> cabal install random
Resolving dependencies...
All the requested packages are already installed:
random-1.0.1.1
I am at a loss at what is the problem or how to fix it
