[Haskell-cafe] circular dependencies in cabal

[Valentyn Kamyshenko]

well, the first and most immediate problem is that I can not even  
fetch the package from hackage using cabal:

# cabal fetch plugins Resolving dependencies...
cabal: dependencies conflict: ghc-6.10.1 requires process ==1.0.1.1  
however
process-1.0.1.1 was excluded because ghc-6.10.1 requires process  
==1.0.1.0

so, although I believe the problem with different versions of the same  
package to co-exist on my computer may be ignored in mane cases, this  
case makes life very inconvenient.
