When I do a cabal update I get the following output:

Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org
Note: there is a new version of cabal-install available.
upgrade, run: cabal install cabal-install

So I run

cabal install cabal-install

However, after I run

cabal update

I still get the same note about a new version of cabal-install.

When I run

cabal --version

I get the following output:

cabal-install version 0.14.0
using version 1.14.0 of the Cabal library

However, in

/~/Library/Haskell/ghc-7.4.2/lib

I only have these two items:

Cabal-1.16.0.3      cabal-install-1.16.0.2

Why would I have this inconsistency?

I'm running on Mac OSX v. 10.8.3

    You probably don't have `cabal`'s `bin` directory in your path. `cabal` installs all binaries from Hackage into `~/.cabal/bin` on Linux (I'm not sure what the equivalent on OSX is), and `cabal-install` is no exception. – Gabriella Gonzalez Apr 06 '13 at 17:21
