[Haskell-cafe] Hackage dependencies problem.

Not only shadowing.
For example, when I installed warp-static, yesod, or gtk2hs. A
clear-user-space may ease the problem and got them installed. But normally
with a not brand new user space, it failed like above.
And, the key point is that using upgrade-dependencies with cabal-install. I
am using git (current) version of cabal-install. Without that argument,
things could be fine. With it, it must fail.
And ghc-pkg check reports no errors.
