Cabal-1.22.0.0 in github? I get the same error compiling the master branch
cabal-install with ghc-7.10.0-20141222.

I think one solution is to increase the version number of Cabal in github
(for 1.22 and master branches), and to make the latest cabal-install depend
on this (i.e. Cabal>=1.22.0.1) since cabal-install 1.22 in github no longer
works with the 'released' snapshot Cabal-1.22.0.0 in ghc. This fixes the
error for ghc-7.10.0-20141222.
