I was able to follow John's instructions and I get what Shriram had in the original message, so that seems like it is on the right track.
Confusingly, however, I also seem to be getting this more helpful message: DrRacket install: invalid package source; inferred package name includes disallowed characters given: https://github.com/shriram/mystery-languages.git https://github.com/shriram/mystery-languages.git https://github.com/shriram/mystery-languages.git https://github.com/shriram/mystery-languages.git https://github.com/shriram/mystery-languages.git https://github.com/shriram/mystery-languages.git I can't see how this check gets evaded sometimes (and I cannot seem to get back to the error state that produced the transcript below) so I didn't try to push a fix. But at least that might help SK's students & TAs for now.
