What i did in situations like this, is the following:

If B depends on A:

1. Uninstall A (for not mistakenly link to an old version.)
2. Add the source directories of a local copy of A to the src-dirs in the 
cabal file of B.
3. remove the dependency of A in the cabal file of B.

I know, that this is not very elegant, though. You end up changing your cabal 
file very often :(

If you could tell cabal, which cabal file to use, the situation would be a 
little better, i think.
