If you can do this, this is news to me. See: https://www.haskell.org/cabal/users-guide/developing-packages.html
From what I understand, you cannot use this to point to repos for dependencies, only to indicate the repo for the package you are defining.
You'd have to publish pack1 somewhere (on hackage or in your own hackage
server), or use a different tool to declare the dependency. I don't know if
cabal's new-build system addresses this at all.

Hello, I'm trying to reference an external source of a package within a sandbox, using cabal 2.0.0.1:
source-repository head type: git location: <git URL of pack1>
executable myExe build-depends: base==4.10.1.0, pack1 -any
But "cabal -v install --only-dependencies" fails:
cabal: Encountered missing dependencies: pack1 -any
Any hint ?
