ghc-pkg loops on mutually recursive package dependencies
If you have two packages installed, A and B, with a dependency from B to A, it is possible to create a cyclic dependency by then adding a dependency in A to B and reinstalling it. The result is that ghc-pkg will loop, not detecting the cycle.
