You need to add Universe to your /etc/apt/sources.list file (actually 
you just need to uncomment it, and you might as well uncomment 
multiverse if you feel like it):

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

For info on universe and multiverse see 
http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/components/

Note, I did an apt-cache search and only came up with ghc6-doc and 
ghc6-libsrc, don't know if that's really what you need or not...
