Following Asumu's advice, I used --force. I got the same error, but then it was 
no longer installed. I tried to install again with the fixed files. It's still 
looking for a directory for-accumulate! There's nothing in my repository that 
references that name anymore. I'm quite confused. Are there some latent files 
downloaded by the package manager that are being used when they shouldn't? If 
so, that's a bug. Additionally I would want to know where they are so I can 
delete them to work around the problem currently.

Subject: [racket-dev] raco pkg remove not removing

I tried to turn my nifty-macros repo into something that the new package 
manager could work with. I recently changed for-accumulate.rkt to for-acc.rkt 
but forgot to change main.rkt to require and reprovide from the new file. I 
installed from github and it died on looking for the for-accumulate directory. 
This is weird since nothing referred to the directory - it was all the files. 
Even so, I changed main.rkt to reflect the changes and tried to install. No go, 
the package was already installed (albeit incorrectly). I try to remove. It has 
the same error and fails to remove the package. I'm now stuck. How to I remove 
an incorrectly installed package?
