phc installation problems

[Andrey Novoseltsev]

Hello,

I am getting the following error when trying to install phc optional package from a script:

...
Error: package 'phc' not found
Assuming it is an old-style package... (this is deprecated: use -p instead of -i to install old-style packages)

Found package phc in /home/sc_serv/sage/upstream/phc-2.3.65.p0.spkg
phc-2.3.65.p0

Error: There is no spkg-install script, no setup.py, and no configure
script, so I do not know how to install /home/sc_serv/sage/upstream/phc-2.3.65.p0.spkg.

When I try the same command from a terminal, it proceeds fine, because apparently only the first one fails. On a freshly built Sage-7.5.rc1 I get:

...
novoselt@sage:~/sage$ sage -i -y phc

For now I'll deal with it by dropping phc on SageMathCell servers, better fixes are welcome!
