cabal-install fail

cabal-install fail

[Brett Gilio]

Hi, all. I am attempting to install cabal-install to my guix 
profile. I
am getting a build error.

build of
/gnu/store/4rh26abgx8k0vkwsf57n4igp1mcrsfqg-cabal-install-1.22.6.0.drv
failed

I tried to look at the build log indicated in the error, but it is 
not
parsing any unicode characters.

Thoughts?

Unfortunately, the package definition for cabal-install is currently
non-functional.  We are just finishing updating our Haskell packages to
build with GHC 8.4.3.  These updates fix cabal-install as well.  They
should be available tomorrow (Monday).  (Note that it will be version
2.2 of cabal-install then.)
