GHC 9.10 ships with a new wired-in package,
ghc-internal
, which cannot be reinstalled. This commit preventscabal-install
from attempting it. See #10087.It would be good to include this alongside GHC 9.10 support, if possible.
QA Notes
Attempting to build a package called
ghc-internal
that has no dependencies should result in a dependency solving error "constraint from non-reinstallable package requires installed instance".This is an automatic backport of pull request #10093 done by Mergify.
