Description
cabal-install-3.6.2.0 has `base <4.15` whereas
ghc-9.0.2 has base-4.15.1.0 and ghc-9.2.2 has base-4.16.1.0.
Further both of them seem able to build cabal-install-3.6.2.0 without any problem.
(Even cabal-install-3.4.1.0 allows base-4.15.)
So can you please revise cabal-install.cabal on Hackage to `base <4.17`
in line with the current 3.6 branch, thanks!

Research direction
Start by locating cabal-install.cabal for cabal-install-3.6.2.0 and compare its base constraint with the current 3.6 branch. Update the constraint to base <4.17, then verify that the package metadata permits building with GHC 9.0.2 and 9.2.2.
