#1750: ghc-pkg stack overflow when mutually dependent packages installed

----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
I erroneously added mutual dependencies between two packages I was working
on. When I installed them both, both Cabal and ghc-pkg started behaving
strangely:
- Setup.hs configure would run, but very slowly[[BR]]
- Setup.hs build would stack overflow[[BR]]
- ghc-pkg list would stack overflow[[BR]]
I realised that there was a mutual dependency, and manually edited
package.conf to unregister one of them. This fixed the problem.
