yup. go crazy :)

What other packages that are shipped with Ghc can I update without running into the diamond-dependency problem? Package | Safe to update ================================= Cabal | ✓ array | base | bin-package-db | binary | bytestring | containers | deepseq | directory | filepath | ghc-prim | haskell2010 | haskell98 | hoopl | hpc | integer-gmp | old-locale | old-time | pretty | process | rts | template-haskell | time | transformers | unix | /M

I'm working on the packaging of Ghc for Arch Linux and the packaging of Ghc 7.8 was in place about a week ago. It was delivered with `Cabal` 1.18, and already now there's a 1.20 available, which is required by the latest version of `cabal-install` :(

Ghc 7.8 comes with quite a few other basic libraries. Are there any dependencies between these libraries besides the obvious one on `base`?

In other words, can I update Cabal without running into the diamond-dependency problem?
