Cabal-install is broken

current cabal-install (0.8.2) cannot be compiled with ghc-7.0.1 set of boot libraries. It requires cabal 1.8.* wich fails to compile. Does anyone worked this out ?

On some of my development environments I've been using the development version of cabal-install. On others, I stick to the Haskell Platform, which does not yet support GHC 7. It's a real pain to get cabal-install going on GHC 7, as you need to install all of the dependencies of cabal-install by hand. The next release of the platform is in January, with an RC is December[1]. Antoine [1] http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/wiki/ReleaseTimetable

You can re-use your old cabal binary (if you still have it) that was compiled with ghc-6. Alternative get cabal-install from http://darcs.haskell.org/cabal-install/ and adjust the file cabal-install.cabal (if it did not change meanwhile). http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2010-September/019252...
