[Haskell-cafe] cabal install: Could not find module `Text.XML.HXT.Arrow'

[dokondr]

Package Text.XML.HXT.Arrow existed only in 8.5.2 version of hxt:
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/hxt/8.5.2/doc/html/Text-XML-HXT-Arrow.html

Yet trying to install with this version produce even more problems:

~>cabal --constraint=hxt==8.5.2 install hSimpleDB
Resolving dependencies...
cabal: cannot configure Crypto-4.2.3. It requires QuickCheck >=2.4.0.1
For the dependency on QuickCheck >=2.4.0.1 there are these packages:
QuickCheck-2.4.0.1, QuickCheck-2.4.1 and QuickCheck-2.4.1.1. However none of
them are available.
QuickCheck-2.4.0.1 was excluded because tagsoup-0.8 requires QuickCheck
==2.1.*
QuickCheck-2.4.1 was excluded because tagsoup-0.8 requires QuickCheck
==2.1.*
QuickCheck-2.4.1.1 was excluded because tagsoup-0.8 requires QuickCheck
==2.1.*
