Does removing ~/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org/00-index.tar.gz
help? Did you overwrite your old cabal-binary. If not, does this binary
also fail?

(I think everything under ~/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org can be
savely deleted and will be downloaded again if needed.)

Which architecture you're on?
