-- Extra dependencies used by PackageTests.
--
-- The runner allows the tests to use extra dependencies and the custom Prelude
-- from 'cabal-testsuite'.
-- However, if the tests use a dependency, say 'directory', and there are two
-- packages with the same unit id available in the store, the test fails since
-- it doesn't know which one to pick.
-- By including an extra dependency to directory, we force the test runner to
-- use a specific version directory, fixing the test failure.
