Comment(by jhpalmieri):
I think the problem is this: if you install "database_gap-4.4.12" by
downloading the spkg file and typing
{{{
sage -i PATH_TO/database_gap-4.4.12.spkg
}}}
then it is installed, but the spkg file is not copied to
SAGE_ROOT/spkg/optional or to SAGE_ROOT/spkg/standard. There is a
placeholder file in SAGE_ROOT/spkg/installed, and this is probably what
you should look for to test whether it's installed -- this is what the
file SAGE_ROOT/local/bin/sage-spkg does. Note that after this, if you run
"install_package('database_gap')" or "sage -i database_gap-4.4.12.spkg",
it says that it's installed.
(If you run "install_package('database_gap')", on the other hand, then
Sage downloads the spkg file and puts it in spkg/optional, so your spkg-
install file finds it.)
