I'll chip in with my cries. Yesterday I spent 6 hours trying to track down a build problem in GHC HEAD. Turned out that it was caused by having two versions of binary package, which were installed to satisfy dependencies and silently broke my installation. I spent another hour today fixing things. I would like cabal to prevent such things from ever happening, the same way that Linux rpm/deb managers keep packages on the system in a consistent state. Janek
