 Simon,

 calling spkg-install directly is certainly NOT the way it is meant to be
 installed.
 It is meant to be installed either from within sage by calling
 install_package, or by calling
 sage -i (or sage -f) at the shell prompt.
 If this does not work, 99.9% of the users won't have a clue what to do.

 Please check that this works for you now, too.

 you better just grab the spkg linked above, and tell Minh (and/or the
 release manager) to upgrade the sagemath.org repository
 using this file. There this diff is already applied and the changes
 reflected in SPKG.txt
 and in the Mercurial:
 the repository was off in your spkg, I had to do a hg add and a hg commit;
 I aslo created .hgignore to ignore src/db files (having huge files in hg
 isn't good, and you have an online database with these, anyway).

 This way, I could give it a positive review (pretending you did it
 all:-)).

 Best,
 Dima
