[Haskell-cafe] A maintenance command of Haskell cabal packages

I guess this happens with Haskell Platform for MacOS only. In this
environment, .cabal/config specifies as follows:

	remote-repo-cache: /Users/<user>/Library/Haskell/repo-cache

But cabal-dev refers to /Users/<user>/.cabal/packages. After
"cabal-dev update" to create it, everything becomes fine to me.

Thank you.
