Removed /root/.cabal by mistake - how to solve this issue?

I have mistakenly removed /root/.cabal/ from my root directoty and when I tried to reinstall it I get this output:

Code:

faiz:~$ sudo cabal install pandoc --reinstall
Resolving dependencies...
In order, the following will be installed:
pandoc-1.14.0.4 (reinstall)

cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
pandoc-1.14.0.4 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1

The problem, I believe has to deal with Haskell installation. I have no experience with Haskell, and I only need a package called "pandoc" for some work with R. What should I do to reinstall pandoc again? I also want to know what's the difference in installing pandoc (using cabal) from the root command line (#) and installing it using the sudo command? (sudo cabal install pandoc.) I use a netbook that has crunchbang linux (basically Debian Wheezy)

dh_haskell_extra_depends

DH_HASKELL_EXTRA_DEPENDS(1)				 Haskell devscripts documentation			       DH_HASKELL_EXTRA_DEPENDS(1)

NAME

       dh_haskell_extra_depends - generate the extra-depends file in Haskell packages

SYNOPSIS

       dh_extra_haskell_depends [debhelper options] [-Xpackage] [--exclude=package] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_haskell_extra_depends is a debhelper program that helps with calculating dependencies for building Haskell libraries.

       Since Haskell libraries are statically linked, packagers that use Haskell libraries cannot rely on the fact that dynamical libraries are
       dependencies of their packages to be sure that possible runtime data packages are installed at execution time. The extra dependencies
       mechanism allows libraries to declare some packages that are to be added to the dependency list of each package that uses them to build.

       This script scans the Haskell dependencies and harvest extra dependencies information, putting them in the file debian/extra-depends, which
       is later used by dh_haskell_depends to be included in the substvars file.

BUGS

       None, as far as we know. :-)
