 I attempted to build a program (using make) and got the following output:

 {{{
 ghc -odir binaries -hidir binaries --make Main.hs -optl-w
 ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 7.6.3 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
         While parsing
 "/home/taymonbeal/.ghc/x86_64-linux-7.6.3/package.conf.d/package.cache":
 too few bytes. Failed reading at byte position 8

 Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
