Hello,

Is there better documentation for ghc-pkg than just "help"??

Hi Philip,

Before I got your email, I deregistered unix-2.3.0.0 which made my unix-2.2.0.0 namespace changes visible. However, deregistering seems to made other things worse, e.g. runhaskell Setup.hs configure gives an error message "unknown parameter package: unix-2.3.0.0". Sigh .. how do I get back to where i was in order to do a "hide"?

Kind regards, Vasili

If you don't want to use it, then it's safe to hide it:

ghc-pkg hide unix-2.3.0.0

You can always unhide it later.

You can also tell ghc to use a specific version of a package:

ghc -package unix-2.2.0.0

Of course, you'll need to make sure unix-2.2.0.0 is registered with ghc-pkg.
