That is likely not the right package name, given that Becky uses the
package name "gap_packages-4.4.10_4" below (I'm not online while
writing this or I would check). The package name has to be *exactly* right.
You can install the package from within sage (either the notebook or the
command line)
by giving the command
install_package("gap_packages-4.4.10_4")
