What reasons would that be?
Maybe some file damage by accident. Also accidentally or under misconception that this would fix something. It is an operation supported by pacman, so the package should, _ideally_, cater for it.
Yes, I understand that, but *why* did it go missing. Somewhere during the installation of haskell packages your ghc package database was changed (corrupted?) in such a way that ghc lost records of `base`. I'd really like to know why.
That I don't know and it would be impossible to work back, as I have reinstalled it. Sorry.. Maybe it will happen again. -- SP
