Ticket #129 (closed defect: fixed)

fetch fails without giving user feedback if the requested package does not exist

Description

Fix it so that it gives an error message like the one the install command gives: 

pep:~/scratch$ cabal-install install blah
...
cabal-install: Couldn't satisfy dependency: 'blah -any'.

While there, perhaps fixing this user message to make it more clear would be a good idea too.
