The package database would also belong in `$XDG_CACHE_HOME/ghc`
I don't think this is quite right, I believe you are meant to be able to delete the cache directory without ill effect. I believe the correct directory would be `$XDG_DATA_HOME/ghc`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15540#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
