Hello Sven, Recent versions of Cabal output an 'abi' field to the installed package database which records what the abi hash of the package is. Old versions GHC (or more specifically, ghc-pkg) are not able to interpret this, so they print an error; however, the error is harmless.
If the messages are bothersome, we could setup Cabal to not print out fields if it knows that GHC doesn't support them.
