Dear list,
I have an issue installing a module (`basicexam') automatically, even
after modifying `mtx-install-imp-modules.lua`.
I tried to install it with the command:
mtxrun --script install-modules --install basicexam
As error message, I get https://modules.contextgarden.net/dl/basicexam.zip.
Module info seems to be right
(https://modules.contextgarden.net/cgi-bin/module.cgi/ruid=4231344815/action=view/id=157),
but https://modules.contextgarden.net/dl/ sorts the `basicexam-*.zip`
files in a rather uncommon way:
basicexam-2025.12.12.zip
basicexam-2026.02.18.zip
basicexam-20250102A.zip
At least, `ls -lh basicexam-*` in “Fedora 43” gives the more standard:
basicexam-20250102A.zip
basicexam-2025.12.12.zip
basicexam-2026.02.18.zip
This prevents the symlink `basicexam.zip` from being generated and then
the `mtxrun` command cannot find it.
Is there any way to fix this? I wonder whether the symlink might need to
be generated manually.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
