Cabal: Missing field in record construction configProf
L.S., I am trying to install a package with the new GHC 7.10 RC 2 (I recompiled cabal.exe with it, and now "cabal update" finally works again). The install fails, even after renaming the cabal config file:
cabal install Config file path source is default config file. Config file C:\Users\X\AppData\Roaming\cabal\config not found. Writing default configuration to C:\Users\X\AppData\Roaming\cabal\config Resolving dependencies... Configuring random-1.1... cabal: Distribution\Client\Config.hs:(246,37)-(299,9): Missing field in record construction configProf

This is a problem in the version of Cabal that ships with the GHC RC2, see https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/2389 . I could fix it manually by reinstalling Cabal-1.22.0.0 taken from Hackage, but as the issue is now fixed reinstalling Cabal-1.22.1.0 from the GitHub repository should also work, I think.
