Error while installing new packages with GHC 7.4.1

[Neil Mitchell]

Hi Antoras,

My suspicion is you've ended up with corrupted packages in your
package database - nothing to do with Hoogle. I suspect trying to
install parsec-3.1.2 directly would give the same error message. Can
you try ghc-pkg list, and at the bottom it will probably say something
like:

The following packages are broken, either because they have a problem
listed above, or because they depend on a broken package.
warp-1.1.0

I often find ghc-pkg unregister <warp> --force on all the packages
cleans them up enough, but someone else may have a better suggestion.

Thanks, Neil
