[Caml-list] Opam problem: cannot upgrade yojson

[Alan Schmitt]

Hello,

I cannot seem to upgrade yojson using opam, because I'm stuck with a
version I cannot remove:

,----
| $ opam info yojson
|              package: yojson
|              version: 1.1.3
|              depends: ocamlfind & cppo & easy-format & biniou <= 1.0.3

| 
| It addresses a few shortcomings of json-wheel including 2x speedup,

| $ opam remove yojson
|

Am I doing something wrong here, or is this a bug?

Thanks,

I've had the same error on two different computers, removing yojson 
from ~/.opam/<your-version>/installed.roots and manually doing 
ocamlfind remove yojson fixed it.

I may have filed a bug about that.

Thanks, I had to remove it from "installed" as well, and I was able to
install the more recent version.

Yep, you did:
https://github.com/OCamlPro/opam-repository/issues/788

For the record, this should be fixed in OPAM 1.1 when it's out soon soon. There
are a number of nits in the various use-cases (pinning, upgrades, compiler
updates) that have been shaken out after the first release.

(And please do keep recording bug reports like this in the tracker.  It really
helps us figure out how people are using OPAM).
