Currently you would have to do the upgrade manually, as `cabal-install cabal-install` won't work (or alternatively edit your local ~/.cabl/packages/hackage.haskell.org/00-index.tar).
Pending a fix on hackage (hopefully) I've been using `cabal copy && cabal register` to grab specific packages today.
How would I go about fixing my 00-index.tar? I tride de-tarring, deleting the recent versions of HUnit, and re-tarring, and when I copy that file in cabal starts telling me no packages exist...?
E.g. with vim, you can edit files in the tar file (in-place). That is what I did, and it worked fine. Cheers, Simon

I use tar f 00-index.tar --delete Hunit/1.2.5.0/Hunit.cabal Works with GNU tar, not with BSD/mac. Erik
