cabal man page installed with incorrect permissions

[0xmohit]

(Using cabal-install-1.24.0.0)

• Fetch the sources from http://hackage.haskell.org/package/cabal-install-1.24.0.0/cabal-install-1.24.0.0.tar.gz
• Extract the sources; cd to cabal-install-1.24.0.0
• Bootstrap: sudo ./bootstrap.sh --global

The manpage for cabal is installed with permissions -rw-------. Note that it's neither readable by the group nor by others.

$  man -w cabal
man: can't open /usr/local/man/man1/cabal.1: Permission denied

The permissions are, indeed, broken:

$  ls -l $(realpath /usr/local/man/man1/cabal.1)
-rw------- 1 root root 91468 Aug  1 22:56 /usr/local/share/man/man1/cabal.1

It is worth adding that the generated files in dist have correct permissions:

$  ls -la dist/build/cabal/
total 33056
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root     4096 Aug  1 22:56 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root     4096 Aug  1 22:54 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 33735528 Aug  1 22:56 cabal
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    91468 Aug  1 22:56 cabal.1
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root     4096 Aug  1 22:56 cabal-tmp

This seems to be fixed if installOrdinaryFiles is used instead of copyFiles in Setup.hs.
