I can confirm that indeed this way it works for me (on boxen with a
compiled Sage 4.3.4-version), too.
OK, so it appears to be an inconsistency in the Sage behaviour, when the
option -i (or -f) is used to install the package. (AFAIK, these options
are not something for experts only, they should work just the same...)
It is, perhaps, a bug in newest_version script.
I'll see if I can find it quickly...
