They are modified. Something like "ghc-pkg hide foo" does that and it's a perfectly reasonable thing for a root to do. Not to mention the main packages.conf file if users want to run "ghc-pkg register" as root. I think it's pretty much analogous to dpkg's usage of /var/lib. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
