Ah, I see where the problem lies. This error does not occur when I build the package with ghc --make. Apparently, cabal will hide all modules not explicitly required by the .cabal file. So, to fix this problem, I simply added "old-time" to the requirements.

Maybe this should be added upstream?

We don't support cabal (but plan to in the future). Marking as duplicate.

Duplicate of what? Let's make this bug the cabal install task.

Now all things are cabal and this is no longer an issue since cabal handles this.
