Something like this: -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1289 May 13 2011 utf8-string-0.3.6-5ee26357cb5966310fb19966a1a80ed8.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1360 May 18 20:39 utf8-string-0.3.8-4b98c0faca0296b4da4f390d8a63aa83.conf So I uninstalled ghc-7.6.3, which dutifully reported that it can't nuke the junk: .. Read shared items: ok --- -ghc-7.6.3p1 ------------------- Error deleting directory /usr/local/lib/ghc/package.conf.d: Directory not empty Error deleting directory /usr/local/lib/ghc: Directory not empty Thus I proceeded to nuke it myself: % sudo rm -r /usr/local/lib/ghc And reinstalled everything I cared about: % sudo pkg_add xmonad % sudo pkg_add ghc-7.6.3p1 % sudo pkg_add xmonad-lib And now everything works just fine.
