Help needed.


OK.  Here is something that would help.

If you look at *build/pkgs/sage_numerical_backends_coin/package-version.txt 
*you will find that it is a symlink to sage/VERSION_txt.  If you look at 
*build/pkgs/sage_numerical_backends/checksums.ini 
* you will find:

upstream_url=https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/source/s/sage_numerical_backends_coin/sage_numerical_backends_coin-VERSION.txt

That means that the spkg is trying to download a file named 
*sage_numerical_backends_coin-10.8.txt* which does not exist. The latest 
version on pypi is 10.4.  If you remove the symlink and put 10.4 in the 
package-version.txt file then the spkg installs.

Of course the deeper story here is that the only person who maintained 
those packages was Matthias Koeppe and no one has looked at them since he 
was kicked out of the sage project.  There is an obvious way to remedy that.
