Comment (by guest):

 I tested with the attached package.conf.min and a minimal package without
 any modules that just depends on base, and without downloading the
 hackage.org package database.

 It is indeed the base4/base3 thing; if the dependence of base-3.0.3.0 on
 base-4.0 is removed, everything works fine (at least as fine as it can
 with a broken package config like this).
