I'm getting the following error when `build-type: Custom` and `license: OtherLicense` are in the .cabal file:
`Foo.cabal`: {{{ name: Foo version: 0.1.0.0 license: OtherLicense build-type: Custom cabal-version: >=1.10
library exposed-modules: Foo build-depends: base default-language: Haskell2010 }}}
`Foo.hs`: {{{#!hs module Foo where
foo :: Int -> Int foo n = n }}}
`Setup.hs`: {{{#!hs import Distribution.Simple main = defaultMain }}}
The error: {{{ $ cabal install Failed to install Foo-0.1.0.0 cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: Foo-0.1.0.0-33ReQaKfqaD7MoDL7J5kFM failed during the final install step. The exception was: dieVerbatim: user error (cabal: Couldn't parse the output of 'setup register --gen-pkg-config':NoParse "license" 5 ) }}}
`cabal-install` version: {{{ $ cabal --version cabal-install version 2.0.0.1 compiled using version 2.0.1.0 of the Cabal library }}}
If I change the `license` field ''or'' the `build` field, the error disappeared. I didn't get the above error using GHC 8.4.1-alpha2.
