      @phil.davis:

      By the way, there was some code just committed that makes the package installer work correctly for the reinstall-all case as well. So it would be good to use a snapshot that was built within the last few hours or later.

      Will do Phil. Thnx for the reply.

          I have not been able to reproduce this either.

          Would you mind running another installation please and then posting the last few lines from the files:

          • /tmp/webgui-log.txt

          • /tmp/webgui-log.json

          That should provide some clues.

          Thanks!

            Note: This was against a brand new install of today's build of full memstick i386 (2015-10-27T02:26). Same behaviour exhibited.

                Thanks for that. The problem is that for some reason your system is reporting that 9 steps of 0 required have been completed:

                { "type": "INFO_PROGRESS_TICK", "data": { "current": 9, "total" : 0}}

                and the code is looking for $current == $total to call it a success.

                We will investigate.

                  Would you please run:  "pkg clean -ay" from the command line to clear the package cache?

                      Did it help?

                      We think this may be a bug in the pkg system. I have just made a change to pkg_mgr_install.php to accommodate it.

                      Would you please test before and after syncing?

                        Oops. Should have said - no, same behaviour after cleaning the cache. Will grab the updated php file and try again.

                          Assuming you mean commit 3985bb3 in github, that does make it report success. Thnx.

                            Cool. Thank you for testing.

                            We have passed the "pkg" bug report upstream.
