I've managed to work around this by explicitly restricting the "asn1-parse" dependency:

cabal install x509 --constraint "asn1-parse<0.9.2"

So the issue is somewhere there.

Just hit this with Stackage too.

--constraint "asn1-parse<0.9.2" works for me as well, thanks @nikita-volkov

it should be fixed now. sorry I was going through a backlog of other features to get it fixed.
