Comment(by duncan):
Btw, as for the bad error message. It's a bit tricky the way we have it at
the moment. Currently we lazily parse the .cabal entries and call error if
it fails. So we cannot give different errors in different places. Ticket
#288 is about handling the index better, we would read the index tarball
after download, parse them all then (giving suitable errors/warnings) and
write out a new index in an internal form that is faster and does not need
further checking/parsing.
