Summary: Updating a release bump resets ghc's internal package
                    list
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 10
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
          Priority: high
         Component: ghc

    Classification: Fedora

Last night, I installed a rawhide version of ghc 6.10.1 in place of the F10
version I had been running. I also had packages such as ghc-X11 installed at
the time. When I ran "ghc-pkg list" after the update, the X11 and other such
packages were no longer visible.

We need to develop a mechanism to make it possible to make minor updates to ghc
without requiring that all devel packages be reinstalled afterwards :-(

Are you sure?  I just tried in i386 f11 downgrading to f10 and back up to f11
ghc
and X11 package appeared for me all along.

package.conf is already marked %config(noreplace) though - I thought that
should take care of it.

(We should really move package.conf to /etc like debian, but I think that is
another story.)
