This is a simple change in cabal2arch:

corePackages :: [Dependency]
...
-- removed:   ,Dependency (PackageName "mtl")              (ThisVersion (Version [1,1,0,2] []))
...

But I'll hold off on sending a patch right away, since I think that
other core packages (those provided by ghc-6.12) have also changed.
