I'm not sure if the following is the intended behaviour of tce-load or if it might be a bug: If an extension has been downloaded, but not installed at an earlier point in time. Another attempt is made to download and install the extension later. The result is that one sees a warning message about the download, but no installation takes place (even though all pre-conditions should be fulfilled). Example:
tc@box:~$ tce-load -w bvi
Connecting to 10.0.2.2 (10.0.2.2:80)
bvi.tcz 100% |*******************************| 36864 --:--:-- ETA
bvi.tcz: OK
bvi successful.
tc@box:~$ tce-load -wi bvi
bvi is already downloaded!
One can obviously install the extension by specifying the file directly:
tc@box:~$ tce-load -i `cat /opt/.tce_dir`/optional/bvi.tcz
bvi successful.
I'm not sure whether this is really necessary, as I was actually expecting for the installation to proceed when I specified tce-load -wi ....
