Comment(by finlay):

 Im having the same problem with cabal, both on cabal install and with
 cabal update.

 The versions are all the same,
 cabal-install version 0.8.2
 using version 1.8.0.2 of the Cabal library
 zlib-0.5.2.0.

 I can't update because of the error. I notice that it downloads
 00-index.tar.gz, but creates it as a POSIX tar archive, ie. it seems to
 automatically gunzip it. I think that is the problem.

 Not sure how to proceed.
