Installoptionalpackages Segment Violation — at Version 3

Description (last modified by diver)

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.

I do not know how I attached two files. All I did was upload installoptionalpackages Crash.txt and immediately clicked it to view. After that clicked the back button on webpositive and there were two files attached. One of them can be deleted.
