Strange Closure Type

Hello masters of the universe, I am here with a plea. I have recently installed GHC 7.8.2 and cabal-install 1.20.0.0 (following this guide), and have ran into a fun road block on the way to installing yesod-platform. I have had a few incidents of the 'strange closure type ###' error on this machine before, on the 7.6.x version available in Ubuntu's repository. I believe this failure is occuring when installing text, because that was the error that I got when installing attoparsec alone, but without a sandbox. I know (barely) better now, so when I went to install yesod-platform, I did a cabal unpack $1 && cd $1* && cabal sandbox init && cabal install --only-dependencies && cabal build, but I failed at preventing the error, still :(

I've attached the output as output.txt, and I've also included my lspci and lshw outputs just for giggles :) I hope someone can direct me in the right direction, I would appreciate it tremendously. Thank you!
