It is safe to do this.  You will probably need to specify the full
version, since despite being included in the latest haskell platform,
cabal-install-0.10.x is in the list of things that cabal won't install
automatically. (in the same way that it selects versions of parsec...)

$ cabal-install Cabal-1.10.1.0
then
$ cabal-install cabal-install-0.10.2

should do it.

(I haven't had a chance to look at the detailed output you sent yet.)
