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
