Hi Simon,
no, it was a Solaris-only problem, on the other patforms it worked just
fine.
(and the fix is trivial and available already)

to make it recognise database_gap?
well, when did it work last time, with which Sage release?
Probably since then the semantics of the script newest_version that you
call in spkg-install has changed.
It MUST be called from SAGE_ROOT/spkg --- if you call it from somewhere
else it reports nonsense.
So here is the diff:

well, the fix is trivial, and it's better to have a working version for
the next release already...
