It might be that it both your own package and the dependencies cabal tries to reinstall all depend on some package P. If the dependencies are installed depending on P version 1, but to satisfy all dependencies for your own package, cabal needs them to depend on P version 2, cabal will reinstall them (possibly breaking other packages that depend on them; is this a bug?)
You can see if this is the case by running 'cabal install --dry-run -v'.
