indeed, as tom says, never nuke ~/.cabal, just ~/.ghc (because thats always safe) On Wed, Dec 24, 2014 at 10:57 AM, Tom Ellis < tom-lists-haskell-cafe-2013@jaguarpaw.co.uk> wrote:

You're experiencing a phenomenon commonly known as "dependency hell". The usual and most straightforward solution is to nuke ~/.cabal and ~/.ghc and reinstall.
YMMV but I've always had good results just deleting .ghc and leaving .cabal alone. (I have GHC and Cabal install globally by my Debian distribution package manager, if that makes any difference.)
