Many thanks for your reply, Max.

Yes, but in all your cases `2025` comes before `2026`.

`Rather uncommon` (not wrong, since I don’t know which sorting criterium
is using) is to put `2025` both before and after `2026`.

Contents of https://modules.contextgarden.net/dl/ give the impression to
be alphabetically sorted (uppercase chars coming before lowercase ones).

In the end, this particular file sorting seems to be preventing the
creation of the `basicexam.zip` symlink, which also prevents its
automatic installation by `mtxrun`.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
