I found a similar post: When I try to install hlint I get errors surrounding old-time-1.1.0.3, but the solution of above post does not work for me.
EDIT: Here is my cabal config file, the remarked line has been removed:

EDIT2:
I try to build it manually, but some dependencies missing. Here is the error message:
>runhaskell Setup.hs configure --ghc

Setup.hs: Encountered missing dependencies:
