 Tried to do this:

 runhaskell Setup.hs configure

 with a simple .cabal file. It says:

 $ runhaskell Setup.lhs configure
 Configuring cabalfailure-0.1...
 Setup.lhs: At least the following dependencies are missing:
 network-multicast -any


 In reality, however, the "network-multicast" is present on the system. It
 was recently installed like this: "cabal install network-multicast"

 This is also confirmed using ghc-pkgs:

 $ ghc-pkg list
 /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.10.2/./package.conf:
     Cabal-1.6.0.3, array-0.2.0.0, base-3.0.3.1, base-4.1.0.0,

     dstring-0.3, ghc-paths-0.1.0.5, haddock-2.4.2, mtl-1.1.0.2,

     network-multicast-0.0.5, parsec-2.1.0.1, polyparse-1.2,
     polyparse-1.3, to-string-class-0.1.1


 Note: ghc version is 6.10.2, Cabal version is 1.6.0.3

 The example is attached to this ticket.
