DB is in a pretty bad state, most likely from using --force-reinstalls.
When Cabal warns you that this will break stuff it actually means it. :) My
suggestion is that you

    rm -rf  ~/.ghc/x86_64-linux-7.6.1  # or equivalent on your system.

Then reinstall all the packages you want by listing them all at once

    cabal install pkg1 pkg2 pk3

By listing them all together cabal-install tries to come up with an install
plan that is globally consistent for all of them.
