The only other step I had to take after pulling the latest was:
darcs obliterate -p "Additional libraries required by wxWidgets 2.9"

Failure to do this causes:
Configuring wxcore-0.13.1...
setup: Missing dependencies on foreign libraries:
* Missing C libraries: wx_baseu-2.8, wx_baseu_net-2.8, wx_baseu_xml-2.8,
wx_gtk2u_core-2.8, wx_gtk2u_adv-2.8, wx_gtk2u_html-2.8, wx_gtk2u_qa-2.8,
wx_gtk2u_xrc-2.8, wx_gtk2u_aui-2.8, wx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system packages that
provide these libraries (you may need the "-dev" versions). If the libraries
are already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the
flags --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where they are.
