 One bug:
 {{{
 $ cabal install base --dry-run
 Resolving dependencies...
 cabal: Distribution/Client/Dependency/TopDown.hs:168:37-73: Non-exhaustive
 patterns in lambda
 }}}

 However that's not an immediate problem since it only happens when you
 explicitly ask to install base. Doing and ordinary install/upgrade does
 not try to upgrade base, though the error messages could be improved:

 With the released cabal-install:
 {{{
 $ cabal install syb --dry-run -w ghc-6.8.2
 Resolving dependencies...
 cabal: cannot configure syb-0.1.0.0. It requires base >=4.0
 There is no available version of base that satisfies >=4.0
 }}}

 That's because in the released version we simply ignore base in the
 available package set.

 In the current darcs version:

 {{{
 $ cabal install syb --dry-run -w ghc-6.8.2
 Resolving dependencies...
 cabal: cannot configure syb-0.1.0.0. It requires base >=4.0
 For the dependency on base >=4.0 there are these packages: base-4.0.0.0.
 However none of them are available.
 base-4.0.0.0 was excluded because of the top level dependency base -any
 }}}

 The constraint here was on picking an installed version of base (there's
 no version constraint). But we're not printing that properly.
