Now I see the problem. It seems to be specific to the source
distribution, but since the PPA is derived from a source distribution,
it affects the PPA, too.
A solution is
raco pkg config --set catalogs \
https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/7.9/catalog/ \
""
That last empty-string argument chains to pkgs.racket-lang.org after
checking the release-specific catalog.
Alternatively, in DrRacket, open "File" -> "Package Manager...", click
the "Settings" tab, and add "https://pkgs.racket-lang.org/";.
The problem: A source distribution has the initial configuration
(catalogs . ("https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/7.9/catalog/";))
instead of
(catalogs . ("https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/7.9/catalog/"; #f))
The Utah snapshots have the same problem, which suggests that it's not
just the way the release build is configured.
