Comment(by jhpalmieri):

 I have a file "database_gap-4.4.12" in SAGE_ROOT/spkg/installed, and I
 just did this:

  - run "sage -sh"
  - cd to SAGE_ROOT/spkg/installed
  - run "../standard/newest_version database_gap"

 and it didn't find it.  It looks to me like "newest_version" searches for
 a file ending in ".spkg", and the files in spkg/installed don't match
 this.  The script SAGE_ROOT/local/bin/sage-spkg does something else to
 check for installation:
 {{{
 if [ -f "$INSTALLED/$PKG_NAME" -a $FORCE -eq 0 ]; then
     echo "sage: $1 is already installed"
     touch "$INSTALLED/$PKG_NAME"
     exit 0
 fi
 }}}
 where $INSTALLED is SAGE_ROOT/spkg/installed, $PKG_NAME is the name
 without "spkg", and you could omit "-a $FORCE", I think.
