 ???!!!!
 This is not the correct way to build a package!

 I have tried your instructions on two different macs (both running 4.3.2
 and 10.6.2) and a linux machine (running ubuntu 9.10).
 Same error on all machines. There is something wrong with

 (1) make clone
 (2) apply trac-8150
 (3) sage -f gap-4.4.12
 (4) sage -f gap_packages.

 The last step is where the error occurs on every machine.

 As far as I know, this is the way it is *supposed* to work.

 To be as clear as I can, you are *not* supposed to ask people to delete
 gap-4.4.10 manually at any stage of the install. Maybe if this is not
 clear, it should be moved to sage-support or sage-devel?

 I am marking this as needs work.
