Comment(by guest):
There are a few options, one of which might get you unstuck:
You can reinstall a package:
{{{
cabal install --reinstall haskell-src-exts-1.10.2
}}}
Or you could use `ghc-pkg unregister` instead of `cabal uninstall ...`
For a long term solution, I would recommend using `cabal-dev` to install
packages in their own sandboxes where their dependencies won't affect the
build of other things on your machine.
