I found a different problem installing vector on Ubuntu precise (12.04LTS):

  $ cabal install vector
  ...
  Installed primitive-0.6.1.0
  Configuring vector-0.11.0.0...
  ...
   Data/Vector/Generic/Mutable/Base.hs:18:1: error:
    Bad interface file:
/home/asr/.cabal/lib/x86_64-linux-ghc-8.0.0.20160111/primitive-0.6.1.0-6R7Tzfc83qM6k1j6TLqRai/Control/Monad/Primitive.hi
        Something is amiss; requested module
primitive-0.6.1.0 at primitive-0.6.1.0-de94d43ed2b084399e39dfe5a3f60217:Control.Monad.Primitive
differs from name found in the interface file
primi_6R7Tzfc83qM6k1j6TLqRai:Control.Monad.Primitive
Failed to install vector-0.11.0.0

I have found the same "Bad interface file" problem installing other packages.

Best,
