Comment(by ddrake):
Unfortunately, this patch breaks the functionality introduced at #7355.
That ticket made it so that in sage-spkg, at line 195 (or so),
{{{$PKG_NAME}}} (which we get from {{{$1}}}) has been munged so that if no
version number was provided, the appropriate one has now been added.
However, the patch here comments out the line that uses {{{$PKG_NAME}}}
and simply uses {{{$1}}}, thereby bypassing everything that we try to do
in #7355. This patch is supposed to be a followup to #7355, but it
completely breaks everything that that ticket was intended to do! Even
with a casual inspection of the code -- which amounts to changing one line
-- it should have been pretty obvious that blithely using {{{$1}}} wasn't
going to work.
For example, if you try {{{sage -i vtk}}}, you'll see that it searches and
finds that version 5.0.2 is the current version -- but then goes and tries
to download a bare "vtk.spkg":
{{{

I'll open another ticket to fix this.
