It's a bug in the install.sh script. Here's the fix: 36a37,42

# Is this exact version of the package already installed? is_pkg_installed () { PKG_VER=$1 grep " ${PKG_VER} " installed.packages > /dev/null 2>&1 }

40,43c46,53 < cd "${pkg}" || die "The directory for the component ${PKG} is missing" < echo "Installing ${pkg}..." < install_pkg ${pkg} < cd .. ---

if is_pkg_installed "${pkg}"; then echo "Platform package ${pkg} is already installed. Skipping..." else cd "${pkg}" || die "The directory for the component ${PKG} is missing" echo "Installing ${pkg}..." install_pkg ${pkg} cd .. fi
