Raco can't find pollen in the catalog

Matthew,

The 7.9 update broke my installation--Raco can't find pollen. Below is the printout from my console:

afmoreno@pluto:~$ raco pkg install pollen
Resolving "pollen" via https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/7.9/catalog/
raco pkg install: cannot find package on catalogs
  package: pollen

The issue is with the new PPA (perhaps because I am on Pop_OS). I downloaded Racket directly and things work as expected.

Another way to fix the issue (which was reported by another user to the Racket PPA GitHub site) is to type:

$ raco pkg config --set catalogs https://pkgs.racket-lang.org

The recommended fix is now

$ raco pkg config --set catalogs https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/7.9/catalog/ ""

If you're interested... The same problem occurs with raco as distributed by the official racket package in the Arch Linux community repo.

@andres-moreno's fix works, thanks!
