Comment:

 Fixed with this patch:
 {{{
 Mon Dec 31 18:05:16 GMT 2007  agl at imperialviolet.org
   * Ticket 201: report IO errors during clean
 }}}

 We now get something like:

 {{{
 $ cabal clean
 cleaning...
 Error while removing dist/: dist: getDirectoryContents: permission denied
 (Permission denied)
 }}}
