So I fear that you might be out of luck for this purpose.  It does not
appear that the buildChromLocation() works with any of the yeast
packages to date.  This is because these packages do not have a
<pkgname>SYMBOL map in them.  We are working on better (less limited)
packages for the future, though.  I am preparing about 80 of them as we
speak.
