Bob,

I didn't see your answer to my previous email (to the fossology list). Specifically,

Do you care about the pkgmetagetta agent? This is not used by the license analyzer. If you don't, then don't worry about this error because you don't need the executable.

I don't know if I will need it. Probably not for now. But what does it do?

So just remove it from your Scheduler.conf file.

The pkgmetagetta agent is really an example of other (non-license) information that fossology can get out of files. It's a wrapper around libextractor, see http://gnunet.org/libextractor/ Libextractor get's meta data our of multiple file types. For example, camera data from images, owners from pdf's, ...

On more than one occasion I've thought about making it an optional module for fossology.
