Error when updating "cabal-install" from cabal cli

I was following [this](https://www.haskell.org/cabal/) tutorial on how to install cabal on linux. So far, I successfully installed cabal-install from apt:

sudo apt install cabal-install

However, at the step where they upgrade cabal with cabal itself, I encounter this error:

$ cabal install cabal-install Cabal

I couldn't find exactly

Cabal-3.0.0.0/Distribution/Parsec.hs:134:0:

(line 9 of the log) on google. I tried to install only cabal-install and Cabal separately with the cabal cli, but I got the exact same error each time. How do I work around this error and successfully update cabal?
