   * Hide any available base and ghc-prim packages from the dep resolver
   Previously if the base package was available on hackage then the dep
   resolver might try to upgrade it. Unfortunately that's almost
   certainly technically impossible at the moment. So now since the dep
   resolver does not see these available packages it cannot pick them.
   This should fix ticket #174.
