It was a mistake that that module was hidden in the version of Cabal
that shipped with ghc-6.6. If you install Cabal-1.1.6.1 or the current
darcs version 1.1.7 that should fix it.

BTW, make sure you don't unregister the Cabal 1.1.6 version you've
already got though because you have packages installed that depend on
that version. It's perfectly ok to have multiple versions installed at
once though.
