It depends on what you mean by 'installing them manually'.

I try to keep the dependencies of `cblrepo` on the master branch at
github in sync with the packages available from the ArchHaskell repo,
so it should always be possible to use `pacman` to install them all.
If you find that the depencencies of `cblrepo` can't be satisfied by
ArchHaskell then it's a bug and I'd appreciate it if you raise a
ticket on github :)

If `haskell-unixutils` as found in the repo isn't installable, then
that's a bug too.  To keep the storage usage down I tend to clean out
old packages rather aggressively, so make sure to update your repo
data (`pacman -Sy`) often.
