Ah ok, so I did
echo :main build -v3 | /usr/local/bin/ghci-6.7.20070816 Setup.hs
1build.out 2build.err
and this does indeed seem more informative. advice?
Turns out this was a bug in FilePath that Cabal was hitting. The bug was

Any tips on debugging this cabal install would be appreciated.

Hi,

IMO we shouldn't allow both a library and an exe in the same package.
I think I argued against this originally, and my understanding is that
doing this is deprecated, although perhaps not visibly enough.

Allowing a package to contain a both a library and an executable

say that it can't behave correctly, but that it can't behave both

Something that has always confused me about .cabal files is that BSD
