I have been touching that code recently and that logic is not separated into library which could be consumed and exercised by means of cli test driver, but is part of auto-install monolith instead. This deficiency is planned to be improved by CUD effort (see Sarah's email sent out yesterday for more details). That said, would fixing 6488 solve the issue you are encountering or is the problem more complex ? Thank you, Jan
