misleading compiler error message in case of interface file inconsistency
I hacked on the GHC base, did something wrong (on purpose), and got a very confusing error message while compiling:
Interface file inconsistency:
home-package module `base:GHC.Base' is mentioned is needed, but is not among the dependencies of interfaces directly imported by the module being compiled
I can't even parse the first sentence!?! Maybe the message could be improved?
