Comment (by matrixmike):

 The command that started this was  'cabal install aeson' .
 -

 - I have a script that reports the versions :
 ghc --version
 stack --version
 cabal --version
 hlint --version
 hindent --version
 hpack --version
 => which gives the following output...

 The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 8.2.1
 Version 1.5.1, Git revision 600c1f01435a10d127938709556c1682ecfd694e (4861
 commits) x86_64 hpack-0.17.1
 cabal-install version 1.24.0.2
 compiled using version 1.24.2.0 of the Cabal library
 HLint v1.8.53, (C) Neil Mitchell 2006-2013
 hindent 5.2.3
 hpack version 0.17.1



 the bug is repeatable on this machine - Linux Mint 17.3
 Distributor ID: LinuxMint
 Description:    Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa
 Release:        17.3
 Codename:       rosa
 -
 I have another laptop also with 17.3 Rosa and that works OK.
 I noticed the aeson version 1.2.3.0 fails on this PC and that 1.2.2.0
 works on the other PC so I tried  cabal install aeson-1.2.2.0   and that
 fails on THIS PC as shown below :



 [17 of 23] Compiling Data.Aeson.Types.ToJSON ( Data/Aeson/Types/ToJSON.hs,
 dist/build/Data/Aeson/Types/ToJSON.o )
 ghc: internal error: evacuate: strange closure type 4332269
     (GHC version 8.2.1 for x86_64_unknown_linux)
     Please report this as a GHC bug:
 http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
 cabal: Leaving directory '/tmp/cabal-tmp-9392/aeson-1.2.2.0'
 Failed to install aeson-1.2.2.0
 cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
 aeson-1.2.2.0 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
 ExitFailure (-6)


 Let me know if I can be more helpful...
