I was giving this a try, and this soon hosed ghc (6.12.3): * (starting from a pristine ghc, from a binary package) * cabal install for containers-0.4.0.0 (the above package) * then cabal install for some package that uses template-haskell * then ghc-pkg check: There are problems in package ghc-6.12.3: dependency "template-haskell-2.4.0.1-e9e9c63092746bd4a3f64cc37ddb1e06" doesn't exist I seems template-haskell.cabal contains "containers" (without any version constraints) as a dependency, so "cabal install" goes to rebuild this (since it prefers the fresh containers version). this looks like http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/675 but not quite. could "cabal install" (or "ghc-pkg register"?) please please refuse to install a package that would break others (especially, if "others = ghc"). what's the proper way to use containers-0.4 now? (I was going to suggest "can you just put it on hackage" but given the above, this would probably be a bad idea.) I plug the new "containers" into a ghc source tree?
