I think the issue here is that we typically put "$HOME/.cabal/bin" at the front of our PATH so that we get the "new" cabal-install that we received from "cabal install cabal-instal"... but if the distro updates it to an even newer version, we won't see that newer version as it's located later in the PATH, and thus we can't rely on our distro packagers to figure out when there's a newer version of various utilities.
I've been having the opposite problem with HP - it puts the global bindir before the user bindir. Took me a while the first time to work out why cabal install cabal-install always succeeded, but cabal install still complained about being outdated. -- View this message in context: http://haskell.1045720.n5.nabble.com/RFC-include-a-cabal-install-executable-...
