 Configuring HUnit-1.2.5.2...
 Setup: Use of GHC's environment variable GHC_PACKAGE_PATH is incompatible
 with
 Cabal. Use the flag --package-db to specify a package database (it can be
 used
 multiple times).

 Error:
 Configuring the HUnit-1.2.5.2 package failed

 I am unable to locate the source of the error.
