A remedy is to replace them with files, i.e. use tar with -h option to
recreate the spkg---on a machine where tar works, certainly. Works for me.
Something along the following
lines:
{{{
/* on a Unix, with good tar: */
$ tar xjf foo.spkg
$ tar chjf foo.spkg foo/
$ tar xjf foo.spkg
$ sage -spkg foo
$ scp foo.spkg win7cygwinhost:/sageroot/spkg/standard/
}}}
affected packages: cddlib, networkx (and maybe more)

New spkg available at [http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/kcrisman
/cddlib-094f.p9.spkg cddlib-094f.p9.spkg].

Comment:
Okay, I now have a p9 version of cddlib which just changes the
instructions to indicate this needs to be done (and of course has had it
done!).
New spkg available at [http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/kcrisman
/cddlib-094f.p9.spkg cddlib-094f.p9.spkg]. The ''only'' change is in
SPKG.txt and in having done the tar -h above.
Also cc:ing the spkg maintainers!
