Comment (by lilac):

 It's important that the wording of the message makes it clear that
 installing the non-preferred version is, well, not preferred. Possible
 wording:
 {{{
 Note: Not installing parsec 3.0.0 because the preferred version is
 2.1.0.1.
 If you want to override this then run cabal install 'parsec == 3.0.0'
 }}}
