Comment:

 The error message is correct. You cannot build hs-HTTP universal because
 its dependency ghc is not universal.

 hs-HTTP's universal variant should be disabled. Since it's the haskell
 portgroup that added the ghc dependency, it might be nice if the haskell
 portgroup could take care of turning off the universal variant.
