+git-annex needs ghc 7.4, that's why it depends on that base version that comes with it. So you either need to upgrade your ghc, or you can build from the `ghc7.0` branch in [[git|download]], like this:
+
+<pre>
+git clone git://git-annex.branchable.com/ git-annex
+cd git-annex
+git checkout ghc7.0
+cabal update
+cabal install --only-dependencies
+cabal configure
+cabal build
+cabal install --bindir=$HOME/bin
+</pre>
