[darcs-users] Trying to upgrade darcs - cabal error

Sun Mar 10 18:14:14 UTC 2013

From the output, it sounds like you might still be using your old Homebrew Haskell Platform
I'm guessing this purely from the fact that you're getting 'The build-tool has reset ENV. --env=std required.' messages
On Mac btw, things tend to go into ~/Library/Haskell these days than ~/.cabal
