[Haskell-beginners] Couple of problems with leksah

[Peter Hall]

I still haven't managed to resolve this. Any thoughts on the errors below?

I don't understand why packages should be on hackage in the first
place if their dependencies are not available from there either. I
feel like you should have to explicitly opt-in to get any package that
has non-hackage or unreleased dependencies.
