1758,misleading compiler error message in case of interface file inconsistency,guest,igloo,"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?",merge,closed,normal,,Compiler,6.6.1,fixed,,,MacOS X,powerpc,,Unknown,,,,
