    Hi - just upgraded a site to 2.6.5 after major hacking.

    Site running ok now, but when I try and update the extras - they all appear in the list, but with now CHECK FOR UPDATES option and I know some are out of date and need updating... If I try and REINSTALL I get errors like below:

    Could not copy /public_html/core/packages/getpage-1.2.4-pl/modSnippet/67422e5e412b20f869e1164ca3c2a7ce/0/ to /public_html/core/components/getpage
Could not resolve vehicle for object of class modSnippet; criteria: Array ( [name] => getPage )


    Is this a permissions thing?

        Make sure your core/components directory is writable.

          Had this recently and it turned out to be a completely empty workspaces table and also one where the path in the workspaces table was wrong

            Permissions are fine - that's the odd thing...

                OK... update... If I click to reinstall - that seems despite the error to work... and checking the extras website they all seem up to date.. I have have no check for updates option in the manager - e.g. as below screenshot:

                  Ownership?

                    Has the same value as all the other folders... this is very odd!

                      Yes, it is. I can't think of anything else that would cause that.
