Hi Martijn, Yes, upgrading will obviously fix things (we do use 0.14 on our development machines), but we have not set up any infrastructure for building a custom cabal on production servers. We just use the one from the Ubuntu repositories, which uses Cabal 1.10.1.0 on oneiric. So until we upgrade to precise I guess we have a problem.
