29 if you make Sage believe that the atlas package was installed properly,
30 the installation proceeds without trouble. So as a quick workaround,
31 just do
32
33 touch spkg/installed/atlas-<version_number>
34
35 I always do this on my system. It would be good to find out the proper
36 solution of course. :)
