[Haskell-cafe] cabal install ghc-mod installs 3 years old version

[Niklas Hambüchen]

You are right, my "ghc-7.4.2" was broken in ghc-pkg list; I fixed the
problem by killing my .cabal folder (as so often).

Do you know if it is possible to make ghc-pkg list print some actual
text when packages are broken instead of writing them in red (which goes
away on output redirection)?

Thanks
Niklas
