 I'm trying to update the package to GAP-4.5.7 but it's difficult to
 understand what all this means:

 somehow, guava, the favorite GAP package of DJ, used to enjoy a special
 deal. But not anymore, for a while already. This needs to be updated.

 GAP packages (a selection) go to gap_packages optional package.

 I hope the rest is clear.
