So perhaps under some conditions that we've yet to determine jpkg decides that the ide/gtk and/or gui/gtk addons don't need to be installed (i.e. thinks they are already up-to-date) when they in reality do.
Raul's suggested change to the install verb should at least make the user experience more predictable (and less frustrating). Note though that they will probably need to update the base library before they run the J session where they run the install verb (so that the install verb gets updated). I'm happy do some testing of the jgtk install on Windows but did actually do it a week or so ago with no problems, so may need some help from others who have had the problem to narrow things down.
