Hey there.

I have noticed a problem (bug?) with Racket regarding packages
downloaded from planet. The thing is, the last package installed
overwrites the cache.rktd file, leaving only itself as an entry. That
automatically makes everything installed not visible to DrRacket.

I am using an ubuntu 9.10, and I have installed Racket 5.0 following
all the defaults. The way I am installing the packages is just copying
the 'To Load' link on planet, pasting it on the definitions windows
and pressing run.

For now I am just saving a backup and restoring by hand after I
install a package, but I guess it is not the most friendly way to
install a package :)

Any suggestions?
