missing Control.Monad.State

Hi all --

Something weird just happened and I feel bad asking on the list for help
(because it's a dumb question), but I've racked my brains and can't
figure it out.

I've been happily using ghc for some time now.  My current machine died,
and the computer folks gave me a new one.  Both my old and new were
running ubuntu.  The new machine came in and I apt-get installed ghc6
ghc6-prof ghc6-docs haskell-mode ghc6-libsrc.  But when I try to run ghc
on a module that uses Control.Monad.State, I get:


~ ghc --make -fglasgow-exts Main.hs -o hbc
Core.hs:24:7:
     Could not find module `Control.Monad.State':
       Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.

If I say -v, I get:

Looking in /usr/lib/ghc-6.6/package.conf, I don't find any mention of
Control.Monad.State (or anything with "State") for that matter.  A
"find" in /usr/lib/ghc-6.6 doesn't turn up anything called State, either.

I presume that I'm doing something incredibly stupid, but I'd appreciate
a bit of help!

Thanks!
