----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 When running 'cabal configure' on a package that has missing dependencies,
 cabal fails to point out that the dependencies can be installed by running

 cabal install --only-dependencies

 When cabal is used by millions of programmers, this will cause $1bn in
 lost productivity.
