Same problem here (Ubuntu 12.10, amd64, GHC 7.4.2). This package seems
to be broken.

Currently switched to ghc-7.6.1 and when I want to install new packages,
they are broke others, because of use older versions. Observe this:
$ cabal install fay
Resolving dependencies...
In order, the following would be installed:
QuickCheck-2.5.1.1 (reinstall)
ansi-terminal-0.5.5.1 (new package)
ansi-wl-pprint-0.6.4 (new package)
attoparsec-0.10.3.0 (reinstall) changes: containers-0.5.2.1 -> 0.5.0.0
...
and others
Things like in last row with containers repeats in a lot of packages,
which with --reinstall key broke them.
So, I wondering what is the easiest and proper way to install new
packages with respect to old dependencies?

Hi all,
I'm just trying to install some of the games from the game list (on the
wiki) so that I have something to look at. I tried the ones which have
cabal packages as I assumed that would be easy. Every one I tried so far
has failed to install. Below are two of the quickest failures. Any comments
are appreciated. Is there something I'm generally not getting? Or are there
just various problems with installing possibly-old packages?

What version of ghc and cabal are you using? shu-thing builds on ghc-6.8
and failed on ghc-7.*. Package probably broken and need to be updated,
due to changes in other packages.

The other package that changed is base; it's still using old-style
exceptions. I thought someone was going to package up old-exceptions and
put it on hackage for backward compatibility, but I don't see it there.
Same with the other package they tried to install.
