I can reproduce the problem on wip-haskell, which also uses
attoparsec-0.14.4 and GHC 9.2.5.

Further analysis suggests that this is a different issue, which is simply
exposed by attoparsec’s multiple libraries. I applied the attached
patch to wip-haskell, which fixes the issue for me.

Cheers,
Lars

Subject: [PATCH] build: haskell-build-system: Process all transitive
 dependencies.

A bug caused install-transitive-deps to stop looping if a dependency
file already existed in the target directory. For Haskell packages
with multiple libraries (like attoparsec) this resulted in missing
dependencies and error messages like this:

    The following packages are broken because other packages they depend
    on are missing. These broken packages must be rebuilt before they
    can be used.
    installed package attoparsec-0.14.4 is broken due to missing package
    scientific-0.3.7.0-9XG3zUjXOw970JFcruv0cZ

See <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/54729#11>.
