Unfortunately there still seems to be trouble invoking cabal in a tree
previously used by a previous Cabal version. For instance,
$ tar -zxf cabal-install-1.18.0.6.tar.gz
$ cd cabal-install-1.18.0.6
$ cabal install
$ cabal install --enable-tests
Warning: The package list for 'hackage.haskell.org' is 71 days old.

cabal-install-1.18.0.6 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
I have noticed this problem in the past as well. Deleting dist/ resolves
the issue. I seem to recall some discussion where it was claimed this
was fixed although I could be wrong. This was reproducible on x86_64
(building with GHC 7.8.3 and 7.6.3) and ARM.
After this was resolved I encountered the following,
$ cabal install --enable-tests

It is a member of the hidden package `network-2.4.2.2'.
Perhaps you need to add `network' to the build-depends in your .cabal
file.
It is a member of the hidden package `network-uri-2.6.0.1'.
Perhaps you need to add `network-uri' to the build-depends in your
.cabal file.

cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
This is fixed in master. It seems you should probably cherry-pick
2826c97d11a495085008c4bddf499fcfd05e0df2 onto the release branch.
After this I was able to run the testsuite. cabal-install was fine;
Cabal failed with,
TestSuiteExeV10/TestWithHpc:
: [Failed]
expected: 'setup build' should succeed
output: "/opt/exp/haskell-packages/Cabal-1.18.1.5/tests/Setup configure

Setup: Option --enable-library-coverage is obsolete! Please use
--enable-coverage instead.
...
BuildTestSuiteDetailedV09:
: [Failed]
build failed!
expected: False
but got: True
I didn't investigate into the cause of these any further.
I also used the new cabal executable to install Yesod has progressed
quite (on the ARM, even) far and shows no sign failure.
I'll take a look at the 1.20 releases tomorrow.
Cheers,
