Re: PSA: `cabal update` command needs manual unsticking

Quoth Nathan Collins ,

I had some ~/.cabal/packages/hackage.haskell.org/00-index.* files, but not any 01-index.* files, and running `cabal update` didn't change that.

I see this when using hackage.fpcomplete.com, rather than hackage.haskell.org. (The latter is very slow for me, and sometimes fails - $ cabal update Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org dieVerbatim: user error (cabal: '/bin/curl' exited with an error: curl: (18) transfer closed with 29508193 bytes remaining to read )$ ) Donn
