Subject: Fix a recompilation checking bug when a package dependency changes
X-Git-Url: http://git.megacz.com/?p=ghc-hetmet.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=f3e080507db6130c983fc86485661e0f14fba565

Fix a recompilation checking bug when a package dependency changes

We weren't forcing enough recompilationg when package dependencies
changed, with the result that bumping a package version could lead to
linking failures or other problems later.

The problem/solutation are described on the wiki:
