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.
There's one big difference here: rpm/dpkg are only used to install things by the system administrator. But in the case of Cabal, a user could install 'mypackage' (in their user package database) and the next day the sysadmin could install a different instance of 'mypackage' in the global database.
