cabal update says to use cabal new-update, but latter is broken. #5398

Description

@phadej

I cannot find my old ticket, but not it's super annoying:

% cabal update
Warning: The update command is a part of the legacy v1 style of cabal usage.

Please switch to using either the new project style or the legacy v1-update
alias as new-style projects will become the default in the next version of
cabal-install. Please file a bug if you cannot replicate a working v1- use
case with the new-style commands.

Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org
% cabal new-update
No cabal.project file or cabal file matching the default glob './*.cabal' was found.
Please create a package description file <pkgname>.cabal or a cabal.project file referencing the packages you want to build.

I consider this is a release blocker.
