haskell - Trouble booting Haste

Question

I'm having trouble running haste-boot --force --local (though the same thing also happens when booting the latest cabal version with plain haste-boot). It makes some progress, then fails out with

cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
bytestring-0.10.4.1 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
haste-lib-0.4 depends on bytestring-0.10.4.1 which failed to install
Command '/home/inaimathi/.cabal/bin/haste-inst' failed with error code 1

I've since manually installed bytestring-0.10.4.1 with cabal install so that:

~/projects/haste-compiler $ cabal install bytestring-0.10.4.1
Resolving dependencies...
All the requested packages are already installed:
bytestring-0.10.4.1
Use --reinstall if you want to reinstall anyway.
~/projects/haste-compiler $

but the haste version still isn't cooperating.

~/projects/haste-compiler $ haste-inst install bytestring-0.10.4.1 haste-inst install bytestring-0.10.4.1 
Resolving dependencies...
In order, the following will be installed:
bytestring-0.10.4.1 (reinstall) changes: base-4.6.0.1 added, deepseq-1.4.0.0
added, integer-gmp-0.5.0.0 added
Warning: Note that reinstalls are always dangerous. Continuing anyway...
Configuring bytestring-0.10.4.1...
Building bytestring-0.10.4.1...
Preprocessing library bytestring-0.10.4.1...
hastec: user error (Haste needs to be rebooted; please run haste-boot)
Failed to install bytestring-0.10.4.1
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
bytestring-0.10.4.1 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
~/projects/haste-compiler $ 

Based on that error message, it looks like installing the appropriate bytestring version with haste-inst requires that I run haste-boot first, but haste-boot is failing because of an error related to installing bytestring.

Any ideas on what I can do here?

EDIT:

The relevant snippet seems to happen much earlier than the actual error in installation:

...
Data/ByteString/Internal.hs:212:10:
    No instance for (Control.DeepSeq.GNFData
                       (GHC.Generics.Rep ByteString))
      arising from a use of `Control.DeepSeq.$gdmrnf'
    Possible fix:
      add an instance declaration for
      (Control.DeepSeq.GNFData (GHC.Generics.Rep ByteString))
    In the expression: (Control.DeepSeq.$gdmrnf)
    In an equation for `rnf': rnf = (Control.DeepSeq.$gdmrnf)
    In the instance declaration for `NFData ByteString'
Failed to install bytestring-0.10.4.1
