I had a similar problem (on Ubuntu Incontinent Ibex). I'd previously installed ghc 6.8.x, and
(among other things) cabal. When I decided to upgrade to the Haskell platform, I deleted ghc but
not my original cabal installation.
When I got the error, I deleted my (old) copy of
~/.cabal/config
and it seemed to fix the problem. I'd assumed something in the config file was pointing to a
file or directory that had been removed when I uninstalled ghc 6.8.x...

lol, yep you're right. I'd assumed the haskell platform shipped with the
latest parsec, when in fact it does not :) my bad...
However, I fixed the cabal issue by installing ghc 6.10.3 and rebuilding
the haskell platform. Apparently there is either a compiler issue or
incompatibility with 6.10.4 that causes the cabal: : openFile: does not
exist (No such file or directory) error.

did you verify parsec-2.1.0.1 exports

This might be a parsec 2 versus parsec 3 issue
ghc-pkg describe parsec-2.1.0.1
should tell you the answer to that.
