The easiest workaround is to change your local copy of the .cabal file  
for hsql, modifying the build-depends line to make a more precise  
dependency on old-time, e.g.
     build-depends: old-time-1.0.0.2

If you are using cabal install, then you may need to take a couple of  
extra steps in order to be able to edit the .cabal file, e.g.

     cabal fetch hsql
     cd hsql-1.7.1
     <edit .cabal file>
     cabal install
