I use a shell script. It's really useful, surely there's some
official way to do this?
#!/bin/zsh
package=$1
if ! ghc-pkg describe $package >/dev/null; then
echo no such package: $package
exit 1
fi
ghcdir=$(ghc --print-libdir)
function field() {
ghc-pkg field $package $1 | cut -d' ' -f2-
return $?
}
libdir=$(field library-dirs)
hidir=$(field import-dirs)
html=$(dirname $(field haddock-html))
echo rm -rf $libdir $hidir $html
echo -n 'remove? '
read response
if [[ $response = y ]]; then
# ghc-pkg unregister will complain if this will break other packages
if ! ghc-pkg unregister $package; then
exit 1
fi
rm -rf $libdir $hidir $html
fi

Hi!
I have installed/registered a new version of a package with cabal by accident. How can I remove it again?
There is something in ~/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org, but the defective version isn't included.
