The package `haskell-graphviz` is no longer in [haskell-core]. Right now I can't recall why I removed it, but most likely it was a lack of upstream updates resulting in other packages being kept back.

 During 'cabal install ghc-vis --disable-library-profiling' several  libraries fail with messages:

 failed to install glib-0.12.5.4  Build log ( /home/($user)/Documents/hs/hswork/projects/101/.cabal-sandbox/logs/glib-0.12.5.4.log ):  Failed to install cairo-0.12.5.3  Build log ( /home/($user)/Documents/hs/hswork/projects/101/.cabal-sandbox/logs/cairo-0.12.5.3.log ):

Arch runs the new GHC 7.10 release. When GHC went from 7.8 to 7.10 there were incompatible changes made to the base packages. ghc-vis has issues with the updated base packages, described in its bug report list (with possible workarounds): https://github.com/def-/ghc-vis/issues/7 Your builds are failing when trying to build old versions of glib and cairo (prior to their ghc 7.10 fixes). It also seem graphviz has also not yet been updated: http://hub.darcs.net/ivanm/graphviz/issue/5 -- Barry Fishman
