You probably have

library-profiling: True

in your ~/.cabal/config, so cabal tries to build profiling versions of the 
libraries. That of course requires profiling versions of their dependencies. 
The quick build-flavour doesn't build profiling versions of base etc., so you 
can't build profiling versions of other libraries with that.

cabal install --disable-library-profiling transformers

ought to work.

Seems so, I get the same error.
