It looks like stack solver doesn't take into account dependencies that are forced by the ghc version. In this case template-haskell.

In the second retry phase when it relaxes the hard constraints to soft preferences it treats even the ghc wired-in packages as preferences. ghc packages should still remain as hard constraints only other packages should be relaxed. I am fixing it.
