Just to make sure: the "Could not find module `HTMLMonadBase'..." is entirely reasonable (and my package.conf is crap), it's the "ghc: panic!" I found worrying.

Yes, we plan to fix the panic and emit a more helpful message.

Fine!

Anyway. Let me drift off topic: why no ghcOptions field in package.conf? I'd perhaps try porting Wash if it were present...

The ability to specify extra GHC options in a package was a misfeature that we removed. It isn't reasonable for a package to be able to change the global GHC behaviour.

I see. But why did hugsOptions remain, then?

Hugs needs to process the source files, so it might need flags to turn on certain extensions, for example. It's not ideal either - flags should really go in the source files themselves. Cheers, Simon
