Hello all,
I decided to bring this to libraries@haskell.org too in case anyone had the same problem before.
It'll be a bug in cabal-install. It's passing a flag to a Setup.hs that was built with an older version of the Cabal lib that does not understand a new flag. What's not obvious to me is why it's passing the flag at all. I'd expect it only to do that if you passed --distpref when you invoke cabal-install.
I've filed a ticket so we do not forget. If you have any more details, add them to the ticket.
