Thanks. I think I figured out what was wrong. I selected Install on
the root of the package tree, then used the view radio buttons (to see
what they are for). I think I reselected Install on the root after
that, but I can't swear to it and can't test it at the moment (I'm in
middle of a move and project), but in three or four weeks I'll probably
get a chance to verify if that was the problem.
