I'll be back on it in 15 minutes.

Unrelated to that, isn't it weird I can't install haskell-text from extra? I don't think it has anything to do with me trying to build haskell-download. In google cache you can still see that Arch had a package named haskell-deepseq which is a dependency of haskell-text and it is not there anymore.

Am I totally off or there is something wrong here?

Excellent!

We don't use cabal2arch any more, instead we use cblrepo.  There is
documentation included in the Git repo for ArchHaskell[1], and there's
documentation for cblrepo in its Git repo[2].  Feedback on the
documentation is always welcome :)
