Error building GHC: can't locate import `Package'

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

I think it's just that you have an old file ParsePkgConfLite.hs in your
directory. The make system finds it and tries to compile it.

Easiest fix: remove the whole of ghc/utils/ghc-pkg, and do cvs update.

| It seems that ParsePkgConfLite.hs omits the "Distribution"
