Actually, I just re-read your post and you seem to have bigger problems...
The cause of the problem: you used "cabal upgrade". This appears to
have resulted in cabal-install "upgrading" boot libraries, which is a
big no-no.
Probably the easiest way to fix this is to delete your ~/.ghc/
directory (and thus wipe out the libraries you installed with
cabal-install) and re-install the libraries you want.
