Description
Here is the error message that is currently produced by cabal when a package has an unsatisfiable dependency like in #4251. (I modified cabal-testsuite.cabal
to require a later version for aeson
.)

[__1] fail (backjumping, conflict set: aeson, cabal-testsuite)
After searching the rest of the dependency tree exhaustively, these were the goals I've had most trouble fulfilling: cabal-testsuite, aeson
I think that it would be clearer to combine all of the versions after "skipping" with the previous "rejecting" message, since they describe the same conflict in this case. Combining the lines would also allow us to summarize the versions more effectively, as in #9831.
