Description
#6038: the revenge of Cabal
Basically the same as that ticket, but with Setup.hs and installed packages.
Could be related to #7375
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by comparing this report with #6038 and checking the possible relationship to #7375. Reproduce the failure using Setup.hs and installed packages, focusing on a package with a public sublibrary but no main library. Done means that dependency setup works for this package shape.
