Comment (by jstolarek):

 Thomie, I haven't tried this with HEAD. With 7.8.3 the problem is of
 course there.

 Here are steps to reproduce:

 1. `cabal get singletons`
 2. `cd singletons-1.0`
 3. edit `singletons.cabal` and remove line 98
 (`Data.Singletons.Single.Monad` from `other-modules` section)
 4. `cabal install`
 5. `ghc Foo.hs` where `Foo.hs` contains:

 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell, KindSignatures, DataKinds, TypeFamilies,
 ExistentialQuantification #-}
 module Foo where

 import Data.Singletons.TH

 $(promote [d| data N = Z | S N |])
 }}}
