That's exactly it. > but I suspect it's more likely that the problem was that cabal-install > wanted it to depend on base-3 instead of base-4. Nope. If it's already installed against base 4 then it does not attempt to switch it to base 3. This is on the theory that if it's already installed with base 4 then it probably works with base 4. Of course sometimes this assumption is false when the available tarball does not match the installed version, but they both have the same version number.
