I started a project a couple of days ago using cabal 2.4.0.x; earlier today, on my work system, all was going well. On my home system, also Linux with nixpkgs installed, which is nearly identical in configuration to my work system (I can think of no obvious differences), things were not going as well.
When running cabal new-build, I get the following:
- http-client-tls-0.3.5.3 (lib) (requires build)
- dhall-1.20.1 (lib) (requires build)
- FarmDataServer-0.1.0.0 (lib) (first run)
- FarmDataServer-0.1.0.0 (exe:FarmDataServer.exe) (first run)

I'm unsure of both what is causing the error, and what a workaround might be.
Update See comment, but one workaround was to delete ~/.cabal.
