Comment:
I cannot reproduce this problem with GHC 7.0 and cabal-install 0.10.2.
cabal-install correctly identifies the package that exists locally (but
not on Hackage).
$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 0.10.2
using version 1.10.2.0 of the Cabal library
$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.0.4
$ curl http://hackage.haskell.org/package/network-multicast-nonexistent
404 Not Found
The requested resource was not found: no such package 'network-multicast-
nonexistent'
