Comment(by dimpase):

 Replying to [comment:15 dimpase]:
 I found where the problem lies: when you upgrade gap_packages,
 the file gap-4.4.12.p2.spkg must be physically present in spkg/standard

 If it is there, I can do sage -f gap_packages-...spkg
 just fine.
 The file names are used by the script  spkg/standard/newest_version
 to get the version of the installed package.

 This script is called in spkg-install of gap_packages spkg.

 So it would not work if you do
 spkg -f http://....gap-4.4.12.p2.spkg
 instead.

 This is not our bug, I think. (spkg/standard/newest_version is a standard
 thing...)
