Stackage: nightly-2017-08-02 and up doesn't work

[yairchu]

Trying to use resolver: nightly-2017-08-02 up to resolver: nightly-2017-08-10, I get this error:

Unable to parse cabal file: FromString "This package requires at least Cabal version 2.0" Nothing

I get this with any project, for example this simple project: https://github.com/lamdu/lamdu-calculus

Please run stack upgrade, the 1.5.1 release fixed this.

Seems like after the stack upgrade I still have an older stack (1.4.0) at /usr/local/bin/stack which takes precedence. (I'm on macOS 10.12.6, installed stack according to the instructions)
So now after stack upgrade and rm /usr/local/bin/stack stack version does report 1.5.1 .

But now my projects don't build with the updated stack.. I'll investigate and report back.

Alright, with the stack upgrade I can use nightly-2017-08-10. Will file a separate bug for newer stack not building projects built by older stack.
Thanks!
