Broken dependencies on cabal install haddock

Hi everyone,

So I just grabbed the cabal and cabal-install tarballs and got them
build without trouble.
I thought I'd try it out by installing haddock but I get the following
rather nonsensical output:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dave at eliza:~$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 0.6.0
using version 1.6.0.1 of the Cabal library

dave at eliza:~$ cabal install haddock
Resolving dependencies...
cabal: cannot configure haddock-2.4.1. It requires ghc >=6.8.2 && <6.13
There is no available version of ghc that satisfies >=6.8.2 && <6.13
dave at eliza:~$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.8.2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I assume I'm not alone in thinking that 6.8.2 >= 6.8.2 is true?   :)

Cheers,
Dave
