It think that for the sake of integrity this should happen. Not saying
it is a critical bug which needs any immediate attention. Maybe

I think given that it is a possibility, the package should cater for it.
One may have wanted to install Ghc again for various reasons.

I mentioned it in a previous email. I told packman to install
`haskell-base` because the Setup complained `base` was missing.
