so please please please have "cabal install" fail with some error message if (that is, before) the install would break anything. - J.

If you upgrade a library, it will break all other libraries that depend upon it.  "ghc-pkg list" will tell you which libraries are broken and need to be rebuilt.

Yes, I think that's the current behaviour what Johannes described yet he suggest this to be sub-optimal. A warning about breakage would be good before the breakage has happened.
