strange error message when installing older package

[mikestillman]

I am trying to resurrect some older packages to place into M2. The package format for this package is likely no longer correct (I'm not sure of this yet). But I get the following when trying to install:

i1 : installPackage "TowerRings"
stdio:1:1:(3): error: makeDocumentTag: package cannot be determined: (adjustComputation,Computation)

There is no adjustComputation method in this package.

I'm not yet sure what the problem is.

Along the way, I am getting a few other error messages I don't understand. When I switch to 1.24.01-dirty.... (pretty much the current development branch) from version 1.23, and try to start M2, I get the following error message. I had removed the local end encap directories in the Application Support Macaulay2 directory. Perhaps this should be another issue, not sure yet.

i1 : restart
Macaulay2, version 1.24.05-154-g97d787b49-dirty (development)

After removing the local and encap subdirectories, it starts fine. @d-torrance did the structure of the directory change from 1.23 to 1.24?

Anyway, after doing this, I get the following:

i1 : needsPackage "TowerRings"

o1 = TowerRings

o1 : Package

i2 : installPackage "TowerRings"
stdio:2:1:(3): error: makeDocumentTag: package cannot be determined: (adjustComputation,Computation)

@d-torrance @DanGrayson @mahrud Any ideas what the problem is? I'll keep looking at it, but at the least, we probably need better error messages.
