I think you'll need -v to see what's going on, but my guess is you somehow have multiple versions of either array or containers with the same version number but different hashes, or that one of the packages depends on a no longer installed package with the right version but had a different hash. My guess is it's containers, because the containers -> array dependency is listed twice --- making me suspicious that those are two separate instances with the same version but different hashes (which aren't normally shown there).
Cabal-1.14.0-4af45d3c8d10dc27db38ae0e7e5a952b is unusable due to missing or recursive dependencies: array-0.4.0.0-46f61f5fd9543ebf309552ef84dccc86 containers-0.4.2.1-98f9aa15f9c08b13673dc9d89385f449
This shows the hashes for one of those sets, but not the other.
