It means your regex-base package was built against mtl-1.1.1.1.
Try to run haskell-updater: it will rebuild all such broken packages.

I had the exact same problem, and running haskell-updater fixed it for me. Thanks.

bug report is invalid - its necessary to run haskell-updater to rebuild such broken packages.

[Comment 4 Luke-Jr 2012-11-24 06:28:15 UTC]

Can @preserved-rebuild be made to catch these things as well?
