[Hackage] #282: profiling versions of libraries not managed well

[Chris Dornan]

Ooops -- I meant to start another thread.

I have found the --package-db flag which Cabal uses.  It would be really useful if Cabal could also use an environment variable (e.g., CABAL_PACKAGE_DB) for the purpose.

Cheers,

Chris

Developer Peeps,

If I set up GHC_PACKAGE_PATH and use cabal-install to install a package it gives me:

	cabal: transformers-0.2.2.0: dependency
	"base-4.3.1.0-ce8fa578cfbfec84d7155c6e49bcce2f" doesn't exist (use --force to
	override)

for each library it tries to install.

Is there an easy way to get cabal to work with GHC_PACKGE_PATH smoothly? (Apologies in advance for the stupid question.)

Chris
