network-bsd hidden hence not found

I am trying to install uni-htk in Windows but getting following error: 

Util\HostName.hs:8:1: error:
    Could not load module `Network.BSD'
    It is a member of the hidden package `network-bsd-2.8.1.0'.
    Perhaps you need to add `network-bsd' to the build-depends in your .cabal file.
    Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
  |
8 | import Network.BSD
  | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

As mentioned in error above, network-bsd is installed but hidden. I cannot find any .cabal file where I could make changes.

How can this problem be solved?

uni-htk has not been updated to work with newer versions of libraries (i.e. it is bitrotted, with last version in 2016). If you cabal unpack uni-htk you can get a local directory with all the source, and edit its cabal file and otherwise to fix it up yourself.

(This particular error is because the Network.BSD module has been moved from the network package to the new network-bsd package, I think. But you'll probably hit other errors as well!)
