Description

Installoptionalpackage crashed when I typed

installoptionalpackage -f

in terminal to get a list of inatallable packages.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. In terminal type installoptionalpackage -f
  2. Press Enter.

This results in gdb and I have a back trace. I get similar crashes too when trying to install any application. If I don't click the button to show the gdb but OK instead, nothing gets installed. Here is an example:

installoptionalpackage -a -s SampleStudio
/bin/installoptionalpackage: line 464: availablePackages[${pkg}]: bad array subscript
... no packages need to be installed.

If you wish to re-install a package, run these two commands
    rm /boot/common/data/optional-packages/OptionalPackageNames
    open /boot/common/data/optional-packages/InstalledPackages
and delete the line containing the package name(s).

Not proceeding with installation.
~> rm /boot/common/data/optional-packages/OptionalPackageNames

When I rm /boot/common/data/optional-packages/OptionalPackageNames it does not make any difference when I try again. Also doing this: open /boot/common/data/optional-packages/InstalledPackages and delete the line containing the package name(s), the package name does not exist there anyway. I was testing in hrev1alpha4-44597.
