429,Strange error that seems related to repos field in config,waern,,"I'm reporting this although I don't really know what the problem is.

I installed cabal-install using GHC 6.10.1. When I tried to use it, it complained that the it couldn't open the file 'Ê', or some other strange, seemingly random, one-character long file name. An strace revealed that just before trying to open the file it reads the repos: field from the config file in ~/.cabal. That field was set to ""hackage.haskell.org:http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive"". I tried removing the initial ""hackage.haskell.org:"", and them cabal-install works.

Not sure what this is, but I couldn't find something about it in the bug tracker after a quick search.
