[darcs-users] darcs does not install in a fresh sandbox

[Dominic Steinitz]

Anyone got any ideas?

~/Dropbox/Private/darcs $ cabal sandbox init
Writing a default package environment file to
/Users/dom/Dropbox/Private/darcs/cabal.sandbox.config
Creating a new sandbox at /Users/dom/Dropbox/Private/darcs/.cabal-sandbox
~/Dropbox/Private/darcs $ cabal install darcs

Backjump limit reached (change with --max-backjumps).

Note: when using a sandbox, all packages are required to have consistent
dependencies. Try reinstalling/unregistering the offending packages or
recreating the sandbox.
