Thank you for the help. I wonder if I need to set this up as a shared sandbox
so that pandoc gets installed to the sandbox in the parent directory. Kind of
like the first example from the ?Advanced usage? section of:
http://coldwa.st/e/blog/2013-08-20-Cabal-sandbox.html
Anyway, thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
James

Creating a shared sandbox ended up working. I don?t know it that?s the proper
way to do this kind of thing. For reference, here is what I did to get Hakyll
installed with the broken Pandoc dependency:
$ mkdir hakyll
$ cd hakyll
$ cabal sandbox init --sandbox .
$ cabal install -j hakyll
[compilation fails at Pandoc]
$ cabal get pandoc-1.13.1
$ cd pandoc-1.13.1/
$ cabal sandbox init --sandbox ../
[make trivial source change]
$ cabal install -j
$ cd ..
$ cabal install -j hakyll
I?ve not tested the Hakyll installation yet to see if it works properly, but
the installation succeeded.

I ran into this same build problem myself the other day. I believe that
forcing pandoc to build with the https flag set is a workaround until the
next hackage release. You can add this on the command line with:
$ cabal install pandoc -fhttps
or in the cabal.config file:
constraints: pandoc +https

For the moment Benjamin's solution seems the best way to go but, just for
the record, I think the command you're looking for might be `cabal sandbox
add-source ./your-local-patched-pandoc/` and then `install` (see
http://www.haskell.org/cabal/users-guide/installing-packages.html under
"Sandboxes: Basic usage" or probably the very same article you referred to,
which seems the source for the wiki).

Get (patched) package into a separate dir
$ cabal sandbox add-source /my/patched/library # Add a new add-source dependency
$ cabal install --dependencies-only # Install it into the sandbox
$ cabal build # Build the local package
This way cabal first searches in the add-source dir for any dependency, and
builds it from there. You can add several dirs with patched packages
You can/might have to add constraints in local cabal.config file (in sandboxed
dir) to force cabal to use the latest version of the package
If a file in any add-source dir is changed, cabal will rebuild it automatically
Take a look at cabal user guide
http://www.haskell.org/cabal/users-guide/installing-packages.html
