Haskell Cabal - strange error with cabal-install

Dear Community,
I am having a very specific issue with Cabal and Haskell. I know that handling Haskell packages in Arch Linux is complex right now.
A few days ago I had everything running, cabal configured as said in the Arch Linux Haskell wiki. Managed to installed several packages, including Accelerate.

The problem I am having right now is that suddenly, cabal started throwing this error, for any "--lib" package

➜  cabal install --ghc-options=-dynamic --lib accelerate-llvm-native
Resolving dependencies...
cabal: Could not resolve dependencies:
[__0] trying: binary-0.8.8.0/installed-0.8.8.0 (user goal)
[__1] next goal: containers (user goal)
[__1] rejecting: containers-0.6.4.1 (conflict: binary =>
containers==0.6.2.1/installed-0.6.2.1)
[__1] rejecting: containers-0.6.3.1, containers-0.6.2.1/installed-0.6.2.1,

(constraint from user target requires ==0.6.4.1)
[__1] fail (backjumping, conflict set: binary, containers)
After searching the rest of the dependency tree exhaustively, these were the
goals I've had most trouble fulfilling: binary, containers, ghc

Anyone knows how this problem may have triggered and any solution?,
thanks in advance
