Comment:

 Martin,

 I was having the exact same problem, on Ubuntu 9.04 64bit, GHC 6.10.4 from
 HQ.  However, I had installed the alpha version of the platform before.
 After removing everything and reinstalling GHC, the install script worked.

 I didn't investigate very closely, but my impression was that the build
 script was skipping same packages because they were already installed, but
 then the last step tried to install all packages in a list.  Since the
 ones installed don't get built, it can't run Setup.

 Thanks for reporting.
