These are the recently-masked first-level dependencies that they need, but there may be more transitively: dev-haskell/configurator dev-haskell/dns dev-haskell/filemanip dev-haskell/hdbc dev-haskell/hdbc-postgresql dev-haskell/hdbc-sqlite3 dev-haskell/missingh dev-haskell/parallel-io All of the bounds in my four packages are >= bounds -- even in the cabal file -- to avoid the problem you mentioned. I'd guess that they build fine against whatever the latest versions of those dependencies are; if not, the dependencies could be updated (can't hurt worse than masking, right?)
