ghcjs.ghcWithPackages fails with "error: value is a path while a set was expected" for certain packages #158600
Description
Describe the bug
When I run:
nix-shell -p 'pkgs.haskell.packages.ghcjs.ghcWithPackages (p: with p; [ reflex ])'
I get the following error:
error: value is a path while a set was expected

(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
This problem does not happen if I run:
nix-shell -p 'pkgs.haskell.packages.ghcjs.ghcWithPackages (p: with p; [ base ])'
then the compilation starts, like expected. Same thing if I provide an empty list of packages.
