ghc-pkg issue

[Frederik Eaton]

This is kind of annoying:

$ ghc-pkg --version
GHC package manager version 6.4
$ ghc-pkg unregister WASHHTML
ghc-pkg: package WASHHTML matches multiple packages: WASHHTML, WASHHTML-0.14.8
$ ghc-pkg describe WASHHTML
ghc-pkg: package WASHHTML matches multiple packages: WASHHTML, WASHHTML-0.14.8
$ ghc-pkg describe WASHHTML-
ghc-pkg: cannot parse 'WASHHTML-' as a package identifier
$ ghc-pkg describe WASHHTML-.
ghc-pkg: cannot parse 'WASHHTML-.' as a package identifier
$ ghc-pkg describe WASHHTML\*
ghc-pkg: cannot parse 'WASHHTML*' as a package identifier

Fixed by editing package.conf by hand. By the way, doing that would be
a little easier if package.conf contained newlines!
