Cabal cannot resolve dependencies for my Yesod website

[Philip White]

Thanks for the quick reply. With your arguments, it worked! But that cabal invocation (without the add'l args) is set by CircleCI.

From my brief research, both of the arguments you suggest result in more successful dependency resolutions, at the potential expense of time. Sounds like a good case for CircleCI to start passing these arguments to all Haskell projects by default. I'll contact them about this.
