cabal install broken with ghc 7.10.1-rc2

Trying to install a package with cabal-install and Cabal from ghc 7.10-rc2 consistently gives this error message (primitive is just an example):

peter@montebre:~> cabal install primitive
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring primitive-0.5.4.0...
cabal: Distribution/Client/Config.hs:(246,37)-(299,9): Missing field in record construction configProf

This is my package database:

I updated only those packages (from their versions in Haskell Platform) that would not compile with 7.101-rc2.

I am setting this to highest as this issue would be very annoying for everyone.
