I tried to install reactive-banana. This failed due to a dependency conflict,

install fclabels, but fclabels is no longer a dependency of 
reactive-banana-0.6.0.0! How can I let cabal forget this dependency?

In http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/reactive-banana/0.6.0.0/reactive-banana.cabal :

if flag(UseExtensions)
        extensions:     TypeFamilies, GADTs, MultiParamTypeClasses,
                        BangPatterns, TupleSections,
                        EmptyDataDecls
        build-depends:  QuickCheck >= 1.2 && < 2.5,
                        fclabels == 1.1.*,
                        unordered-containers >= 0.2.1.0 && < 0.3,
                        hashable == 1.1.*
        CPP-options:    -DUseExtensions

Recall that the semantics of "if flag" is like Prolog not Pascal: if the packages under build-depends could be installed, then UseExtensions is set to true. Unless you manually override.
