Re: [Tiki-devel] Packages and Fitness Check not working

Hi Gary,

yes, the option Errors, under Metris is also available in my cPanel - just,
as i mentioned in the previous email, it only list two errors from way back
in October but the Packages errors are from much more recent.

I guess one direction would be to somehow make sure this could not happen
in installations for end users (e.g. have to do a clean install to resolve
all issues) - however, as Victor points out, it's not that easy.

So, the smarter choice would be to *remove the Packages Feature completely *for
now, continue working on it slowly, than once it's pretty well tested and
fairly bulltet proof, add it back.

br,
Mike
