You aren't telling GHC about the docon package.  The file 'foo.conf'
only describes the 'foo' package, with a dependency on 'docon', but GHC
doesn't have the details of the 'docon' package, because those are in
'docon.conf'.  So you need something like:

  ghci -package-conf docon.conf -package-conf u/foo.conf -package foo

Cheers,
