Hi, I was trying to install gap_packages-4.4.10_6 in sage-3.3, but got an error after the download. It turns out that this optional package hardcodes that it wants gap-4.4.10, and meanwhile we had upgraded to gap-4.4.12. This was easy enough to fix even for my very limited spkg-kungfu skills (bunzip2, untar, edit spkg-install so it says GAP=gap-4.4.12 instead of gap-4.4.10, tar, bzip2, rename as spkg, put back in the right place and try installing again, this time successfully). It's a bit annoying though; is there anything smart we could do to avoid this?
