Unable to install this with elm-package due to username mismatch. #3

Description

@rtavenner

I cannot install this module. This seems to be due to a username mismatch.

When I attempt elm-package install wraith1995/complex, I get this error:
Error: Could not find any packages named wraith1995/complex.

Here are some packages that have similar names:

    teocollin1995/complex
    Bractlet/elm-plot
    prikhi/decimal
    Chadtech/order

Maybe you want one of those?

This is because elm-package thinks this library should be teocollin1995/complex.

When I attempt elm-package install teocollin1995/complex, I get this error:

Error: Problem when downloading the teocollin1995/complex 1.0.1 code.

This is because when it downloads the package, it expects to get a folder whose name starts with teocollin1995-complex, but it instead starts with wraith1995-complex. At this point, it just aborts the installation.

There is a workaround:

  1. Run elm-package install teocollin1995/complex. This will fail.
  2. Go to elm-stuff and rename wraith1995-complex-<random chars> to teocollin1995-complex-<random chars>.
  3. Rerun elm-package install teocollin1995/complex.
