running ./sage -optional and then ./sage -i database_gap-4.4.12.pl.spkg using sage -i as per README instructions (which is not recognized) or ./sage -i database_gap-4.4.12.pl.spkg, with or without extension .spkg produces the same message: *Unable to download database_gap-4.4.12.pl *Please see http://www.sagemath.org//packages for a list of valid *packages or check the package name.

The package exists so I should be able to download it and install using wget or Firefox. The question is: Is this advisable; is this package separate from Sage and can be called by sage, or do I need to use sage -i to integrate it?

The compilation (on Ubuntu 10.10) seemed to be finished, and was running tests, at which time the following message was written:

Finished extraction
There is no spkg-install script, no setup.py, and no configure script,
so I do not know how to install /usr/local/sage/sage-x.y.z./spkg/standard/extcode-4.8.spkg.
make[1]: *** [installed/extcode-4.8] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/sage/sage-x.y.z./spkg'

I don't know how to handle this as I assume these files are generated automatically. Any suggestions?
