Comment (by duncan):

 Oh, that's odd. That'd be a bug in Cabal if it's picking up user packages
 by default. Are you sure it was the same situation that Shellac-0.9 was
 registered in the user and not global db and that a runghc Setup.hs
 configure --global decided the Shellac dependency was ok?

 If that's the case please submit a Cabal bug report. As I said before, it
 is important that we do not pick up deps from the user package db if we're
 going to be doing a global install.
