Comment:
When cabal-install says a package cannot be installed because it needs
base 4, that does not mean you should install base 4. It means you cannot
use that version of that package with ghc-6.8. You either have to use an
older version of the same package, avoid using the package or upgrade to
ghc-6.10 which comes with base 4.
For exactly this reason, cabal-install does not decide to install base 4
(which is why you had to go to such lengths to try to install it).
