That'd be expected; you shouldn't simply obliterate package.conf.d, you need to keep ghc's boot libraries (which include itself as a library). If the boot libraries are somehow hosed, you need to reinstall the compiler to get them back.
Different package.conf.d I suggested obliterating C:\Documents and Settings\abailly\Application Data\ghc\i386-mingw32-7.0.3\package.conf.d (on linux it would be called ~/.ghc/i386-linux-7.0.3/package.conf.d). That would just drop user packages and not touch boot packages (global packages for that matter). You can also see that under the listing of D:/Program Files/Haskell Platform/2011.2.0.1\lib\package.conf.d the majority of packages are still there, not obliterated. (For example base, bin-package-db are still there.)
