there is only one time package installed, so i'm surprised to see any package prefixes at all here

    time-1.1.2.0

but by what system do some things get prefixes and others don't? are there any invisible modules that need the distinction, or is this an output bug?"	feature request	new	normal	_|_	GHCi	6.9				Unknown/Multiple	Unknown/Multiple		Unknown
