Distribution/Package.hs:91:59:
No instance for (NFData Version)
arising from a use of `rnf'
Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (NFData Version)
In the second argument of `seq', namely `rnf version'
In the expression: rnf name `seq` rnf version
In an equation for `rnf':
rnf (PackageIdentifier name version) = rnf name `seq` rnf version
Error during cabal-install bootstrap:
Compiling the Setup script failed.
Actually I need to update cabal but every attemp fails.
I tried cabal install cabal-install and got following errors

base-4.5.0.0, base-4.5.1.0, base-4.6.0.0, base-4.6.0.1, base-4.7.0.0 and
base-4.7.0.1. However none of them are available.
