I had installed Stephen's `graph' package. Then, he pushed a new
version, and I tried updating my install. Here's the error I got:
stamourv@ahuntsic:plt$ raco pkg update graph
Inferred package scope: /home/stamourv/src/plt/racket/share/pkgs

At that point, I tried removing it and reinstalling it. I got this
error:

That directory did exist, though. At that point, the package was not
listed as installed anymore, but I couldn't install it either:

Despite that error, the package was listed as being installed, but it
wouldn't work.
I ended up removing the package directory and removing the link (using
raco link). After that, I was finally able to reinstall the package, and
now everything works.
The old version did not have an `info.rkt' file, but the new one does. I
don't know if that makes any difference.
