Yes, I have two versions installed , 0.9.1.4 and 0.9.1.6. Here is the
output of ghc-pkg -l:
d:/Program Files/Haskell Platform/2009.2.0.2\package.conf:
Cabal-1.6.0.3, GLUT-2.1.1.2, HSlim-0.1, HTTP-4000.0.6,

(dph-base-0.3), (dph-par-0.3), (dph-prim-interface-0.3),

mtl-1.1.0.2, network-2.2.1.4, old-locale-1.0.0.1, old-time-1.0.0.2,
packedstring-0.1.0.1, parallel-1.1.0.1, parsec-2.1.0.1,
pretty-1.0.1.0, process-1.0.1.1, random-1.0.0.1,
regex-base-0.72.0.2, regex-compat-0.71.0.1, regex-posix-0.72.0.3,
rts-1.0, stm-2.1.1.2, syb-0.1.0.1, template-haskell-2.3.0.1,
time-1.1.2.4, utf8-string-0.3.6, xhtml-3000.2.0.1, zlib-0.5.0.0
However, I tried to force the version I use to be 0.9.1.6 and it does
not work as ghc itself seems to require 0.9.1.4, as pointed out by
Ivan. I did not try to remove one or the other however.
