Hrm, Odd. The cabal code looks like it should be outputting the command-line that it uses to invoke ghc-pkg, but it does not work here either. Perhaps that is a cabal bug. In any case, I think it is just running: ghc-pkg update .installed-pkg-config If you run that command, does it generate the same error ? Can you paste the contents of your .installed-pkg-config?

Is there something that looks particularly wrong below?
Can you try the install with verbosity turned up:
$ sudo runhaskell Setup.lhs install -v
or perhaps even
$ sudo runhaskell Setup.lhs install -v5
I believe this will show the actually invocation of ghc-pkg that is being used. You can then try running ghc-pkg by hand and see if it gives you the same result.
That should at least yield some useful data.
Thanks. j.
