The version of `alex` is not being correctly parsed

**Describe the bug**

When running tests, Cabal is unable to parse the Alex version installed:
```

Error: cabal: Failed to build vehicle-syntax-0.1.0 (which is required by
test:vehicle-unit-tests from vehicle-0.1.0 and test:vehicle-golden-tests from
vehicle-0.1.0). The failure occurred during the configure step.
```

Relevant part of the `.cabal` file:
```
build-tool-depends:
, alex:alex ==3.2.7.1
, BNFC:bnfc >=2.9.4
, happy:happy >=1.19
```

The error appears to be this one:

https://github.com/haskell/cabal/blob/00a2351789a460700a2567eb5ecc42cca0af913f/Cabal/src/Distribution/Simple/Program/Db.hs#L489-L492

and originates from here:

https://github.com/haskell/cabal/blob/00a2351789a460700a2567eb5ecc42cca0af913f/Cabal/src/Distribution/Simple/Program/Builtin.hs#L239-L247

**To Reproduce**

Shows up regularly on [our](https://github.com/vehicle-lang/vehicle) CI (e.g. [here](https://github.com/vehicle-lang/vehicle/actions/runs/4498380696/jobs/7914938112)). Appears to be non-deterministic to begin with, but once it happens once, happens every time subsequently until we clear the Github caches.

**Expected behavior**

Cabal should be able to parse the Alex version.

**System information**
- Operating system: Linux
- GHC: GHC 9.2.4
- Cabal: 3.8.1.0

**Additional context**

Might be a problem with Alex instead, but unsure?
