Not sure how you come to that diagnosis.
As far as I can see on my machine
- cabal is /usr/bin/cabal
- the apt package cabal-install is installed and lists /usr/bin/cabal as a
file

So unless something really weird or magic-y happened, my cabal is debian's
cabal.

And so -- my diagnosis -- the fact that cabal broke after an OS upgrade
suggests that the apt package cabal has something wrong in its dependencies.

Of course, as I said, this is my diagnosis, and since I am not much more
than a layman in this area, I'll be happy to be corrected :-)
