Strange; I had to repeat this process, too, and also thought that I
still had version 1.6 after the first time.

This is my output (I am including the full output for debugging
purposes):

When I the followed the directions at
http://www.neilvandyke.org/sicp-plt/ the first time, here is what was
returned:

>$ planet show
>Normally-installed packages:

Notice that the version had not been upgraded.

Therefore, I repeated this process, and it somehow worked the second
time, even though the two processes were identical (again, I am
including the full output for debugging purposes)l:

Notice that this time, the version was upgraded to 1.12.  Voila`!

Any ideas on why this process needs to be repeated to function
correctly?
