Comment:
We currently get:
{{{
$ cabal install cabal-upload
Warning: The package list does not exist. Run 'cabal update' to download
it.
cabal: Unresolved dependencies: cabal-upload -any
}}}
I misunderstood the request. The original request was just to say when the
package list is missing. I interpreted it as knowing to update the package
list based on a request to install something that was on the server but
not in the current package list, which is rather harder.
So closing this one as it's fixed. Though we could probably do better, it
should be an error straight off rather than a warning followed by another
error.
