#10311: package name returned from tyConPackage is garbled -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: j.waldmann | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by simonpj): Moreover there is a reason for the change. The `Map` type exposed by `containers-0.5.5.1` compiled against one set of dependencies is not the same as the `Map` type exposed by `containers-0.5.5.1` compiled against a different set of dependencies. The new package keys encode this difference. One mitigation path could be this: perhaps GHC could make it possible to get the package ''name'' from a `TyCon` as well as a package ''key''.
