-package P was loading all versions of P in GHCi (#7030)
-package P means "the latest version of P" if multiple versions are
installed. It was working as advertised, but we were
eagerly *linking* all versions of P, which might cause an error if the
package has some C code, because we can't link multiple instances of
the same symbol.
