Cabal and simultaneous installations of the same package

[Simon Peyton Jones]

I have no idea what the status of this is or if GHC indeed has all the things we need. Perhaps Edward could comment.
I’m pretty confident that GHC has all the things needed, and has done since last summer.  It’s Cabal that doesn’t!

But as you say, Edward Y can confirm.

But time has passed and it hasn't happened. Is this because I'm misunderstanding?  Or because it is harder than I think?  Or because there are much bigger problems?  Or because there is insufficient effort available?  Or what?
