[Caml-list] is this an opam bug or something i'm doing wrong?

I installed opam from a fresh start (reinstalled opam itself, deleted my
.opam), ran "opam switch 4.01.0", and then tried to install ocp-indent,
which installed version 0.1.0. So I tried opam upgrade, which wanted to
install 0.6.1 even though there are later versions available:

$ opam upgrade
The following actions will be performed:
 - upgrade ocp-indent.0.1.0 to 0.6.1
0 to install | 0 to reinstall | 1 to upgrade | 0 to downgrade | 0 to remove

Removing ocp-indent.0.1.0.
  ./configure --prefix=/home/martin/.opam/4.01.0
  make uninstall

=-=-= Installing ocp-indent.0.6.1 =-=-=

.....

$ opam install ocp-indent
[NOTE] Package ocp-indent is already installed (current version is 0.6.1).

$ opam install ocp-indent.1.4.1
The following actions will be performed:
 - install ocamlfind.1.5.2 [required by ocp-indent]
 - install cmdliner.0.9.5 [required by ocp-indent]
 - install typerex.1.99.6-beta [required by ocp-indent]

 - upgrade ocp-indent.0.6.1 to 1.4.1

Looks like 0.6.1 is the latest version that doesn't have a "depends" field,
which would at least hint at why that one in particular got picked. but
switching to 4.02.0+rc1 and trying again drops me back to 0.1.0.

$ opam list
Installed packages for 4.02.0+rc1:
base-bigarray   base  Bigarray library distributed with the OCaml compiler
base-threads    base  Threads library distributed with the OCaml compiler
base-unix       base  Unix library distributed with the OCaml compiler
ocp-indent     0.1.0  A simple tool to indent OCaml programs

which according to opam show shouldn't even be an option:

sorry for the noise, looks like a bug with the package itself :( should've
checked for that first

This should be fixed but your opam may be in a state where it's not easy to apply the fix. Follow these instructions:

Maybe you're saying this because 0.1.0 isn't listed in the
available-versions field, but that field filters out versions you already
have installed (in any switch). This always confuses me and think
available-versions should just list all versions.

I'd definitely like to see that change! As a user the current way is very
confusing.

Thanks! I've had to start from scratch anyway since for some reason the
arch linux package had me stuck on the 1.0 version with a link to the wrong
default repo (I only realised this when I tried to install oasis 0.4 and
couldn't) and I messed something up trying to fix it in place, so I don't
mind deleting .opam once more.

According to the OPAM distributions list [1], Arch should be on OPAM 1.1.1, which points to the maintained default repo.

I'm afraid I've never used Arch to know where you might turn to for help, but if it's really installing OPAM 1.0 then I'd like to know so that we can prevent any more new installations of that version.

I managed to fix it by uninstalling opam-git and installing opam; the bug
seems to be that while the opam-git package did update to 1.1 it never
triggered an update to my installation.

Hi Martin,

On Archlinux git packages are not upgraded on a package upgrade, there is no way
AFAIK for the package manager to guess if a git package has been upgraded or not.

So this is normal.

I recommand using only the "opam-git" package on Archlinux until a new OPAM
version is released.

Cheers,

Vincent

True; I'm not sure what exactly went wrong in my case but opam-git never
updated anything, that is, it never recompiled the latest version even when
there were pushes to the git repo.
