Description

Make error message more user friendly when module is not found because package is unusable. Currently it just reports that module is missing (the same as it even would not be installed) but then checking with ghc-pkg find-module shows package correctly. Chasing '-v' output around can then show you this but it would be easier that you would immediately get a helpful message.

Thanks for the report. It would be useful if you could paste the command you're running and the messages you're seeing, so we can be sure we're looking at the same thing.
