Resolving dependencies...
cabal: cannot configure pango-0.11.1. It requires cairo >=0.11.1 && <0.12
and glib >=0.11.1 && <0.12
For the dependency on cairo >=0.11.1 && <0.12 there are these packages:
cairo-0.11.1. However none of them are available.
cairo-0.11.1 was excluded because sifflet-lib-1.0 requires cairo ==0.11.0
cairo-0.11.1 was excluded because cairo-0.11.0 was selected instead
cairo-0.11.1 was excluded because sifflet-1.0 requires cairo ==0.11.0
For the dependency on glib >=0.11.1 && <0.12 there are these packages:
glib-0.11.1. However none of them are available.
glib-0.11.1 was excluded because sifflet-lib-1.0 requires glib ==0.11.0
glib-0.11.1 was excluded because glib-0.11.0 was selected instead
glib-0.11.1 was excluded because sifflet-1.0 requires glib ==0.11.0
So that's pretty simple. 'sifflet' requires cairo ==0.11.0 and pango. But since
pango doesn't work with cairo 0.11.0, the package can't be built. The solution
is to ask the sifflet author to adjust the dependencies to be more flexible.

Those specific versions of packages are overly constrained. They should follow
the PVP, and be thus,
0.11.*
