Thanks for your help Sam (and for trying to help me on IRC earlier, even though I still apparently haven't understoood).
It looks like via that command, I really don't have anything installed: $ raco pkg show -l --rx scribble Installation-wide: Package[*=auto] Checksum Source scribble* a5cb923ee68ca75f7c38fa292d0676fd864ce4d8 (catalog "scribble") scribble-doc* 75fc2487c34972216972c28170e27132ea73486d (catalog "scribble-doc") scribble-html-lib* 312698505f94222be672038938cef024f20f8f1f (catalog "scribble-html-lib") scribble-lib* a103fc2974188b3d007fd4e38f424e3498993ffb (catalog "scribble-lib") scribble-text-lib* 817c9ad5450aec2d7fcdbe217a134b535d32f4fb (catalog "scribble-text-lib") User-specific for installation "7.8": [none] I'm guessing it's probably due to these error messages: $ raco pkg update --scope user --clone scribble-lib Inferred package name from given `--clone' path package: scribble-lib given path: scribble-lib raco pkg update: package installed in a different scope package: scribble-lib current scope: user installed in scope: installation I see that I can make it happen using the following steps: cwebber@twig:~/devel/scribble/scribble-lib$ raco pkg install --force Linking current directory as a package ... cwebber@twig:~/devel/scribble/scribble-lib$ raco pkg show -l --rx scribble warning: tool "scribble" registered twice: "scribble" and #<path:/gnu/store/8bpd156gsb4yjapx9gcmw4xn56vnl063-racket-7.8/share/racket/pkgs/scribble-lib/scribble> Installation-wide: Package[*=auto] Checksum Source scribble* a5cb923ee68ca75f7c38fa292d0676fd864ce4d8 (catalog "scribble") scribble-doc* 75fc2487c34972216972c28170e27132ea73486d (catalog "scribble-doc") scribble-html-lib* 312698505f94222be672038938cef024f20f8f1f (catalog "scribble-html-lib") scribble-lib* a103fc2974188b3d007fd4e38f424e3498993ffb (catalog "scribble-lib") scribble-text-lib* 817c9ad5450aec2d7fcdbe217a134b535d32f4fb (catalog "scribble-text-lib") User-specific for installation "7.8": Package Checksum Source scribble-lib #f (link "/home/cwebber/devel/scribble/scribble-lib") I know you've warned me I don't want to do install --force though. :) Though... now I've done it for all of the Scribble sub-packages, and things seem to work now... Might I ask why I shouldn't do the thing I've just done then?
