Well, {{{spkg/install}}} and {{{spkg/standard/deps}}} are current again,
but you've checked the (also current) {{{install}}} in (s.t. it's now in
the Sage scripts repo, and also ends up in {{{$SAGE_ROOT/local/bin}}}
where the scripts repo of the installation lives):
{{{
#!sh
l...@quadriga:~/tmp/sage_scripts-4.6.upgradetest_alpha1$ hg log -v install
changeset: 1582:876225f0dec8
tag: 4.6.upgradetest_alpha1

description:
#9896: new spkg/install
l...@quadriga:~/tmp/sage_scripts-4.6.upgradetest_alpha1$
}}}
(The file should be in {{{.hgignore}}}.)
I don't think the instance in the {{{sage_scripts}}} spkg should be copied
over {{{spkg/install}}} during that spkg's installation; if at all (see
below), we should do that '''after''' the running instance of
{{{spkg/install}}} has terminated, i.e. from the scripts that start it
({{{sage-upgrade}}} and the top-level Makefile, perhaps some other
scripts).
But in principle we don't have to copy it at all; we should just make sure
that both are the same. If that's ''not'' the case, something went very
wrong. This is true for both upgrades ''and'' builds from scratch.
