 When ghc-pkg observes your cache is out of date, it displays a helpful
 warning, recommending "ghc-pkg recache". However, sometimes running this
 command does not fix the problem, because it targets the wrong cache.

 For out of date global caches, "ghc-pkg --global recache" successfully
 clears the warning. For out of date user caches, "ghc-pkg --user recache"
 clears the warning.

 In the future, could ghc-pkg display the command more specific to the
 problem?
