Did you build 7.10-rc2 or install it from a binary? I built ghc from the source tarball and then again with the resulting ghc. So my ghc was bootstrapped with ghc 7.10.1-rc2.
I don't have this problem and have had none with cabal install. I installed from a binary.
cabal install primitive Resolving dependencies... All the requested packages are already installed: primitive-0.5.4.0 Use --reinstall if you want to reinstall anyway.
$ ghc-pkg list /usr/local/lib/ghc-7.10.0.20150123/package.conf.d: [...] /Users/gcolpitts/.ghc/x86_64-darwin-7.10.0.20150123/package.conf.d: [...] primitive-0.5.4.0 You have primitive installed already, I don't.
