Of course you can't. HAM hides system packages. To the extent that when a package HAM does show depends on one it doesn't and you happen not to have it or have an older version, HAM fails to install even the visible package with some cryptic error message. Only experience has taught me what the cause is and how to deal with it.

This behaviour is another reason I ditched HAM in favour of FAM and the command line. YMMV.
