Stack: "The following packages specified by flags or options are not found" error with nightly-2018-03-14

[simonmichael]

I'm getting the same kind of error mentioned on https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/3358 :

~/src/hledger$ stack install --dry-run
The following packages specified by flags or options are not found: persistent-sqlite
~/src/hledger$ stack --version
Version 1.6.5, Git revision 24ab0d6ff07f28276e082c3ce74dfdeb1a2ca9e9 (5514 commits) x86_64 hpack-0.20.0
~/src/hledger$ cat stack.yaml
# default stack build plan for developers/HEAD users.
# This should normally use a recent stackage nightly,
# to help us detect problems at stackage.

resolver: nightly-2018-03-14

# nix:
#   pure: false
#   packages: [perl gmp ncurses zlib]

packages:
- hledger-lib
# - hledger
# - hledger-ui
# - hledger-web
# - hledger-api

# extra-deps:
# - easytest-0.1

#- persistent-sqlite-2.8.1.2

Adding persistent-sqlite under extra-deps had no effect.

Expected

A successful install or a more normal install plan error.

Thanks for reporting that issue, I'm experiencing it too.

After some investigation, I think this issue is related to https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/pull/3916

[simonmichael]

And I confirm it doesn't happen after stack upgrade to Version 1.7.0, Git revision 06406a93e7b577809a274e5d05b2c88b73dd7326 x86_64 hpack-0.21.2.

[borsboom]

I'm working on a minor release (will be v1.6.7) that will include this fix.

[DanBurton]

There are two ways of solving this.

• a release of stack
• inclusion of persistent-sqlite in the nightlies

@borsboom is working on the former.

I've been working on the latter. See also https://github.com/fpco/stackage/issues/3375, which is basically tracking the progress of getting persistent-sqlite into the nightly builds.

Only one of these is needed to solve the issue, but hopefully we can get both of them done soon!

[snoyberg]

Given that we're about to have a 1.7 release, and the nightlies have since been fixed, I think it's safe to close this one now.

[YoEight]

@snoyberg Are we talking of a potential stack release this week?

[snoyberg]

I'm not sure if it'll land this week, but there is a release candidate already.
