#805: Configure fails when AvailablePackage source is RepoTarballPackage

I'm having cabal configure will fail with
{{{
cabal: internal error: configure install plan should have exactly one
local
ready package.
}}}
Checking the source code shows that this error occurs in
{{{Configure.hs}}} when failing a pattern match in Configure.hs:88. The
value that is coming back from {{{InstallPlan.ready}}} is in fact a list
of one element, but it is failing on the {{{LocalUnpackedPackage}}} match.
The value returned in my case has the value:
{{{
packageSource = RepoTarballPackage (Repo {repoKind = Left (RemoteRepo
{remoteRepoName = "hackage.haskell.org", remoteRepoURI =
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive}), repoLocalDir =
"/Users/dave/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org"})
}}}
This is happening for a cabal package which has a dependency on the binary
package, but the binary package is not installed. It doesn't happen with
all cabal packages, but just perhaps when binary is the only missing
dependency.
If I first run {{{cabal install binary}}} then the {{{cabal configure}}}
will go through just fine. Unregistering the package will again cause
{{{cabal configure}}} to fail.
{{{
