Yes, that did the trick -- thank you!  The only other "tricky" thing
I came across is that the individual package directories under
'packages' should be named using a dot to separate the package
name from the package version (probably because the customary
dash would be ambiguous, since it also appears frequently in
package names)...

Best regards,
Dario Teixeira
