Unable to build with lts-13.04 (and others)

[fakedrake]

I am trying to build a project that indirectly depends on distributive with lts-13.2 but I am failing.

same with lts-12.14.

Although I'm unfamiliar with the ins and outs of stack, this looks related to the fact that old versions of distributive had a custom Setup script. distributive-0.6.2.1 no longer has a custom Setup script—do you still experience this error with that version?
