I don't follow. The ghc-pkg changes were only in ghc-6.9, so why patch
the Cabal that ships with 6.8.2 (surely .3 ?). Note also that we already
have a similar patch in Cabal HEAD. The current code is:
packageDbGhcPkgFlag GlobalPackageDB = ["--global"]
packageDbGhcPkgFlag UserPackageDB = ["--global", "--user"]
packageDbGhcPkgFlag (SpecificPackageDB path) = ["--global",
"--package-conf=" ++ path]
I don't know if this patch has been pushed to the Cabal branch that ghc
HEAD uses.
