I'm on Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and can't get haddock installed due to the
following error:

Resolving dependencies...
Configuring haddock-2.6.0...
Warning: This package indirectly depends on multiple versions of the same
package. This is highly likely to cause a compile failure.
package haddock-2.6.0 requires Cabal-1.8.0.2

    (use -v for more information)
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
haddock-2.6.0 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1


When I do a "ghc-pkg list | grep Cabal" I get the following:

ghc-pkg list | grep Cabal
    Cabal-1.8.0.2
    Cabal-1.8.0.2

I'm wondering if this means I have a copy in my .cabal, and another from
GHC,and if that could be causing a problem?

I'm trying to work on the Haddock docs for the NineP package I uploaded the
other day, and would rather not have to finish uploading before previewing
the result :-)
