[Haskell-cafe] Can't install haskellnet with ghc7

[Charles-Pierre Astolfi]

I tried to install haskellnet with mime-mail-0.2.x and an older
version of the text library but it still fails with the same error.

Btw, what is the best way to uninstall a package that has been
installed via cabal? (or to downgrade it, fwiw)
