In this case the reason was that those packages were added to the
repository  [haskell-core] with initial release number set to 1, although
they had been in [haskell-happstack] already for some time and their
release number was higher. I removed those immediately
from [haskell-happstack] to avoid duplicate work, but they must also be
manually removed from local, since pacman always keeps the highest
version-release.

In order to avoid this kind of issues in the future we should either have a
policy to coordinate work between different haskell repositories, or merge
everything into a unique repository and call it simply [haskell].

Personally I don't like installing things using cabal-install because in my
opinion the distro package manager should always be in charge.
