Description

Why does the global package db have the to be the first one specified in the package database stack?

There is currently an error which enforces this, but I can't think of a GHC related reason why this invariant would need to hold.

The check was introduced in 39a4e6bfd109c14c39404739e3e8bbe07d2b7661
