Can I suggest replacing package with dataset and seeing what happens.

("package" terminology has been replaced with "dataset" throughout
CKAN and the DataHub. package urls redirect to dataset but we have
heard that command line tools / clients can have problems with
redirects.)

I note here you have dataset not package ...
