Please check the output of one build https://gist.github.com/ysagon/09a8a41ff15a242be140cd4654ba2201 And the output of a second attempt right after the previous attempt: https://gist.github.com/ysagon/adf2053406f026a138d2d190cc3ae528 You can see that the "installing extension " lines are for the same extension, but the total number of extension remaining is not the same?!
