Can't install Yesod on Ubuntu 12.04

I just tried to install Yesod on Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise 32) on a Vagrant box.

Install of Haskell Platform was ok.

Then : "cabal install yesod-platform --force-reinstalls"

caused a fail with :

cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
vault-0.3.0.1 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
wai-1.4.0.2 depends on vault-0.3.0.1 which failed to install.
wai-app-static-1.3.1.4 depends on vault-0.3.0.1 which failed to install.
wai-extra-1.3.4.4 depends on vault-0.3.0.1 which failed to install.
wai-logger-0.3.1 depends on vault-0.3.0.1 which failed to install.
wai-test-1.3.1.1 depends on vault-0.3.0.1 which failed to install.
warp-1.3.9.2 depends on vault-0.3.0.1 which failed to install.
yesod-1.2.2.1 depends on vault-0.3.0.1 which failed to install.
yesod-auth-1.2.2.1 depends on vault-0.3.0.1 which failed to install.
yesod-core-1.2.4.2 depends on vault-0.3.0.1 which failed to install.
yesod-form-1.3.2.1 depends on vault-0.3.0.1 which failed to install.
yesod-persistent-1.2.1 depends on vault-0.3.0.1 which failed to install.
yesod-platform-1.2.4.2 depends on vault-0.3.0.1 which failed to install.
yesod-static-1.2.0.1 depends on vault-0.3.0.1 which failed to install.
yesod-test-1.2.1 depends on vault-0.3.0.1 which failed to install.

Which I guess means vault is not found. I have no understanding of what is afoot here, what this package is and why it has failed to install on a brand new fresh Ubuntu box with a brand new Haskell platform

All pointers gratefully received. Thanks

It seems that the more recent version of vault on Hackage is broken. You can work around this by telling cabal to install an older version:

cabal install yesod-platform --force-reinstalls --constraint 'vault < 0.3.0.1'

I'll file a bug report against vault about this.
