#7779: building GHC overwrites the installed package database if GHC_PACKAGE_PATH is set ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: heatsink | Owner: igloo Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Build System | Version: 7.4.2 Keywords: | Os: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by igloo): Hmm, having thought about it, isn't that exactly what you'd expect to happen? I wonder if we should just deprecate/remove `GHC_PACKAGE_PATH`. You already can't use `cabal` if it's set (cabal will just fail). -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7779#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
