I suspect this is down to a change in cabal-1.2.x vs 1.1.x. It is now strict about only looking for package dependencies in the global package database. The default has always been --global with the possibility of using --user to allow satisfying dependencies from the user package database. In the 1.1.x series however there was a bug where it'd get packages from the user database even when you did not specify --user. So one workaround that might work is changing a cabal configure command to pass the --user flag. I'm not sure where that would be, someone familiar with pugs can probably work it out.
