cabal-install is available in Lucid[0]. You might be able to simply backport that version, since the ghc6 versions in karmic and lucid are identical. The process is approximately: 1. sudoedit /etc/apt/sources.list # add a deb-src entry for lucid 2. sudo apt-get update 3. sudo apt-get build-dep cabal-install 4. cd `mktemp -d` # enter a clean working dir 5. fakeroot apt-get --build source cabal 6. sudo dpkg -i cabal-install *.deb If the above steps aren't clear to you, then you probably don't know enough about dpkg and apt to perform such a backport safely.
