This is probably because the package mantainers did not have time yet to update to Pharo 8.
Maybe you could contact them individually?

Nope, this just means the meta-data in the catalog browser is out of date… :(

I think you have been doing nothing wrong. In the last year everything has been moving super fast.
Lots of projects have moved lately to git, but the meta-data associated to those projects is probably in many places and updating all of that is, so far, human dependant and thus error prone.
