Comment:

 It hasn't been mentioned that this actually causes a system-level problem
 on
 GNU/Linux which potentially makes it more severe: it makes the mandb cron
 task at least complain and, I think, actually fail after getting
 {{{
   /usr/bin/mandb: can't open /usr/local/share/man/man1/markdown2pdf.1:
 Permission denied
 }}}
 following a `cabal install --global pandoc', although the binary is
 installed
 appropriately.  This is with
 {{{
   cabal-install version 0.8.2
   using version 1.8.0.6 of the Cabal library
 }}}
