Hi:

I have just installed the Haskell Platform 2009.2.0.2 on Mac OSX 10.6.2.  When I try to install wx I get the following error which I do not understand.
Can anyone give me a hint?

$ cabal install wx
Resolving dependencies...
cabal: cannot configure containers-0.3.0.0. It requires base >=4.2 && <6
For the dependency on base >=4.2 && <6 there are these packages: base-4.2.0.0.
However none of them are available.
base-4.2.0.0 was excluded because of the top level dependency base -any


Here are my packages:
