    Priority:  normal          |   Component:  None  
     Version:  6.8.2           |    Severity:  normal

-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 If you have two packages installed, A and B, with a dependency from B to
 A, it is possible to create a cyclic dependency by then adding a
 dependency in A to B and reinstalling it.  The result is that ghc-pkg will
 loop, not detecting the cycle.
