This is how it is failing. Any ideas on how to get it working?

vty-4.6.0.6 depends on unix-2.4.2.0 which failed to install.

Actually I cannot install Yi on mint debian either. Cabal version doesn't match.

I did cabal install cabal-install
then
cabal upgrade cabal

but get this error when trying to install Yi
