301	Need a way to force a package to be re-installed	guest		"cabal-install currently offers no way of reinstalling a version of a package which is already installed. If one has been messing around with libraries behind Cabal's back, this might be useful, if for no other reason than to assuage one's worries regarding link errors.

Ideally a flag `--force` or whatever could be given to `cabal upgrade` and `cabal install`, which would make bypass the check for whether the package exists."	enhancement	closed	normal		cabal-install tool	1.4.0.1	normal	fixed			easy (<4 hours)	6.8.3
