Exciting allegation, but it doesn't quite check out with GHC 6.12.1 + cabal 1.8.0.2 and cabal-install 0.8 (see below). I would expect this issue to be easily resolved by specifying "containers <= 0.3.*" in the "wxdirect" package, but cabal is misbehaving (for me) and stating wxdirect needs reinstalled with a supposedly newer version of containers, 0.2.0.1.
