it seems to be not that easy commit 10a35e9c70e46d0d3706566f1f6bc2c23831e422 Author: Clint Adams <[email protected]> Date: Sun Oct 9 15:19:01 2016 -0400 Remove cabal (same version as ghc's) :100644 000000 fb8b853... 0000000...

D p/haskell-cabal/debian/watch https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=842394 the package has an update upstream, and the build seems to be working, http://debomatic-amd64.debian.net/distribution#unstable/haskell-cabal/1.24.0-1/buildlog but Clint seems to have a different opinion, not sure what ghc is building inside its source code.
