#1758: misleading compiler error message in case of interface file inconsistency
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
Reporter: guest | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: Compiler | Version: 6.6.1
Severity: normal | Keywords:
Difficulty: Unknown | Os: MacOS X
Testcase: | Architecture: powerpc
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
I hacked on the GHC base, did something wrong (on purpose), and got a very
confusing error message while compiling:
Interface file inconsistency:
home-package module `base:GHC.Base' is mentioned is needed,
but is not among the dependencies of interfaces directly imported by the
module being compiled
I can't even parse the first sentence!?! Maybe the message could be
improved?
