Comment:

 My `hs-pandoc-types` port does not depend on `hs-platform-ghc`. Did you
 modify your `hs-pandoc-types` port?

 The `ghc` and `hs-platform-ghc` ports are not deprecated; the ghc
 currently in the haskell platform is older than the `ghc` port (and
 provided in `hs-platform-ghc`). The ideal solution for this problem would
 be to install the haskell-platform ghc using a pre- or suffix, e.g. as
 `hs-platform-ghc`, so the `ghc` and `hs-platform-ghc` ports would no
 longer conflict.

 A different solution for the problem would be to only provide the haskell
 platform, or to stop providing the haskell platform completely (which the
 haskell community apprently does not encourage).
