Not sure my answer went through. 

I followed your advice and obtained 

,----
| 
| I tried that but obtained 
| Text/Pandoc/Legacy/Definition.hs:103:14: parse error on input ‘{’
| cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
| pandoc-types-1.20 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
| ExitFailure 1
`----

Then I tried  cabal install cabal-install

And obtained 

,----
| cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
| Cabal-3.0.2.0 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
| user error ('/opt/sw/bin/ghc' exited with an error:

| /var/folders/j1/7bbsk0jj6nxd5yxndqwvb1t00000gn/T/cabal-tmp-29800/Cabal-3.0.2.0/Distribution/Parsec.hs:134:7:

| cabal-install-3.0.0.0 depends on Cabal-3.0.2.0 which failed to install.
| hackage-security-0.5.3.0 depends on Cabal-3.0.2.0 which failed to install.

`----

Sigh, I don't recall a time where this worked flawlessly.

Andy advice would be welcome, I shall also ask on the fink mailing list.

An alternative would be to un install fink's cabal pkg and try to
install it directly.
