When installing package haskell-src-exts via cabal install, I get the error

Language/Haskell/Exts/Syntax.hs:102:7:
Could not find module `Data.Data':
it is a member of package base, which is hidden

However, when manually installing

runhaskell Setup.hs configure/build/install

It works fine
Somehow package base is not available in cabal.. don't know why.

I think what this really means is that "cabal install" is using base-3 whereas direct installation is using base-4, or vice versa. dcoutts or the haskell-src-exts maintainer would have to tell you what to do about it though.
