Configuré un sistema NixOS en KVM e instalé el paquete haskelPlatform.
Todo funciona bien, ghci funciona bien, pero Cabal muere sin ningún mensaje de error útil:

La VM no tiene intercambio, sino 2GB de RAM. No hay pistas dmesg.
¿Alguna idea de lo que está pasando?
(En otra instalación de NixOS en una VM basada en VirtualBox, esto funciona sin problemas).
