Weird haskell stack build exit failure: cairo requires cairo?

While experimenting with Haskell using the Stack Tool to build a gtk+ gui by enhancing the Main.hs code from the new-template as follows:

module Lib
    ( someFunc
    ) where

import Control.Monad
import Control.Monad.IO.Class
import Data.IORef
import Graphics.UI.Gtk hiding (Action, backspace)

someFunc :: IO ()
someFunc = do
    void initGUI
    window <- windowNew

    widgetShowAll window
    mainGUI

I am encountering the following weird error in which the target seems to be searching for a later version of itself:

>stack build

cairo-0.13.5.0: configure

cairo-0.13.5.0 seems to be the haskell bindings to the cairo C library (just a guess). The cairo C library's current version is 1.16 and it is "beyond 1.0" for years already. So yes, indeed, cairo requires cairo. But this is "haskell cairo bindings requires cairo C library".
