Running 'cabal configure' on one of our code bases gives: package random-1.0.0.2 requires time-1.1.4 package random-1.0.0.2 requires time 1.2.03 ... This happens only on a Debian system, in which I installed the Haskell Platform using apt-get.

Did you also install libraries using cabal ? cabal install in your home directory by default, as a result you can have both global and user packages, and there can be conflicts.
