Package: cabal-install Version: 1.20.0.3-1 Severity: normal Since Cabal is back at version 1.16.0, a package with a custom Setup.hs will be built linked against that. However, cabal-install 1.20 puts things in the default ~/.cabal/config that cause such a Setup to crash.
For example: joey@darkstar:~/src/git-annex>cabal configure Config file path source is default config file. Config file /home/joey/.cabal/config not found. Writing default configuration to /home/joey/.cabal/config Warning: The package list for 'hackage.haskell.org' does not exist. Run 'cabal update' to download it.
