Actually I cannot install Yi on mint debian either. Cabal version doesn't
match.

I did cabal install cabal-install
then
cabal upgrade cabal

but get this error when trying to install Yi

Installing library in /home/sayth/.cabal/lib/Cabal-1.10.1.0/ghc-6.12.1
Registering Cabal-1.10.1.0...
sayth at homegroup ~ $ cabal install yi
Resolving dependencies...
cabal: dependencies conflict: ghc-6.12.1 requires Cabal ==1.8.0.2 however
Cabal-1.8.0.2 was excluded because yi-0.6.3.0 requires Cabal ==1.10.*
