I am doing this:

0101 address@hidden /t/tst ➤ cat tst.egg
;; -*- scheme -*-

(components (program tst)))
0059 address@hidden /t/tst ➤ chicken-install5 -v

Error: extension or version not found
Call history:
<syntax> (##core#require library scheme#)
<syntax> (##sys#load-library (##core#quote library))
...
This patch informs the user which extension wasn't found and is pretty trivial.
There is another location in chicken-install.scm that looks suspiciously similar, but I couldn't figure out how to trigger it or test it. But I think this should be applied too:
modified chicken-install.scm

Can someone help me trigger this error message?
