Backwards compatability of GHC-5.04

Hi,

ghc-pkg has become a lot pickier about directories and files which are not 
there (which is probably the Right Thing, except that it 
becomes annoying when using things like "pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --cflags 
--libs").

However, if I add a package that depends on, say, data to a local package 
config file, ghc-pkg does not check in the global package file if the 
package "data" is installed there but says:

Adding package description to local package file.
dependency `data' doesn't exist


Could anyone fix that?

Axel.

P.S.: Simon: Thanks for fixing ghc-pkg that you can install a package 
locally and globally!
