#6054: Couldn't match kind `BOX' against `*' when using SOURCE import
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
Reporter: atnnn | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: Compiler
Version: 7.4.1 | Keywords:
Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple
Failure: None/Unknown | Testcase:

------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
When this module has a (useless) SOURCE import, using its typeclass gives
an error.
{{{
module Bar where
import {-# SOURCE #-} Foo
class Bar a (p :: Bool) | a -> p
data Proxy a = Proxy
}}}
With the interpreter, the error appears when using the class:
{{{
Prelude> :l Bar
*Bar> :set -XFlexibleContexts -XDataKinds
*Bar> Proxy :: Bar '() a => Proxy a
Couldn't match kind `BOX' against `*'
Kind incompatibility when matching types:
k0 :: BOX
Bool :: *
}}}
When compiling, the error appears the *second* run.
{{{
$ ghc Main.hs
No instance for (Bar () '() a0)
$ ghc Main.hs
Couldn't match kind `BOX' against `*'
}}}
Tested with 7.4.1 and HEAD
