When I try a GHC installed from the Debian tarball I get a permission 
error on the package.cache because of

$ ll /usr/local/ghc-9.2.0.20210422/lib/ghc-9.2.0.20210422/package.conf.d/package.cache
-rw------- 1 root root 188641 23. Apr 16:56 /usr/local/ghc-9.2.0.20210422/lib/ghc-9.2.0.20210422/package.conf.d/package.cache


I can solve the problem with

$ sudo chmod a+r /usr/local/ghc-9.2.0.20210422/lib/ghc-9.2.0.20210422/package.conf.d/package.cache
