You could fall back to using cabal-install to get cabal2arch, which will
chase all those dependencies. However there are a couple changes needed
to build cabal2arch with ghc-6.12 (to use cabal-1.8).

Attached is a darcs patch which fixes the compile errors with ghc-6.12,
but maybe it will be applied sometime soon.

$ darcs get http://code.haskell.org/~dons/code/cabal2arch
$ cd cabal2arch
$ darcs apply path/to/patch.dpatch
$ cabal install

Then hopefully you can use cabal2arch as planned?
