 I've got cabal-install version 0.5.2 and Cabal version 1.4.0.2. After
 doing a "cabal update", "cabal list" fails with the following error:

 {{{
 ...
 * GeoIp
       Latest version available: 0.3
       Category: Network
       Synopsis: Pure bindings for the MaxMind IP database.
       License:  OtherLicense

 cabal: Couldn't read cabal file "./Glob/0.1/Glob.cabal"
 }}}

 I looked at some version numbers, and it ''seems'' like some version of
 GeoIp is confusing the tools.

 On another machine (Arch Linux, not Mac OSX) I built a new 1.6.0.1, did
 "cabal update" and then "cabal list" and it worked fine.
