7.8.1-candidate fail

[Sergei Meshveliani]

I have another machine, which is under Wheezy. 
And there
* ghc-7.6.3  has made successfully  ghc-7.8.20140130  from source,
* ghc-7.8.20140130  cannot make itself from source, reporting 

-------------------
...
Configuring ghc-7.8.20140130...
ghc-cabal: The following installed packages are broken because other
packages they depend on are missing. These broken packages must be
rebuilt before they can be used.
package Cabal-1.18.1.3 is broken due to missing package
array-0.4.0.1-3b78425c10ff2dad7acf7e8c8ae014c3,
base-4.6.0.1-8aa5d403c45ea59dcd2c39f123e27d57
...
...
-------------------

I am sorry, I understand very few in the installation techniques, nor in
the system matters. May I, please, ask the following question?  

Does the above situation mean that 
(1) the GHC `maker' has Cabal inside it
    (or it calls for Cabal which needs to be in the System?)
(2) ghc-7.8.20140130  has a higher Cabal version than ghc-7.6.3,
(3) this higher Cabal version needs different packages than Cabal in  
    ghc-7.6.3
? 

Thanks,

------
Sergei
