package checking with "cabal upload -c" gives error 404

[choener]

cabal upload -c dist/PrimitiveArray-0.5.2.0.tar.gz
Checking dist/PrimitiveArray-0.5.2.0.tar.gz...
Error: dist/PrimitiveArray-0.5.2.0.tar.gz: 404 Not Found

This could also be a cabal-install problem.

And presumably dist/PrimitiveArray-0.5.2.0.tar.gz really does exist? Output with -v3 ?

[choener]

Yes, the file exists, without "-c" I successfully uploaded it. "-v3" output follows:

cabal-install version 1.18.0.2
using version 1.18.0 of the Cabal library 

cabal upload -v3 -c dist/PrimitiveArray-0.5.2.0.tar.gz
Checking dist/PrimitiveArray-0.5.2.0.tar.gz...

Sorry, it's just not here.

It works without the -c option. But with the option, I get the same result:

cabal upload -c -v3 dist/stomp-queue-0.0.6.tar.gz

Same behavior for me: upload works, but not with --check.

[aslatter]

It's been a while since I've hacked on this, but my understanding is that the "package candidates" feature was meant to supersede "cabal upload --check". Maybe I'm mis-remembering.

Also suspicious is the "LegacyRedirects" module has a commented-out redirect for the "check" POST request.
