Bruce, please describe your repository setup. Do you use .url files? What is their content? What directories do you have under /tftpboot/oscar ?

I installed that by hand too from /tftpboot/distro. Are you sure oscar-modules came from /tftpboot/distro/...? If you have OSCAR related RPMs in the distro repository then you must be using an unclean setup with a mix of old and new OSCAR packages. > Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at > /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/OSCAR/PackMan.pm line 645. > Could not find directory !

I think this is also fixed in the mean time. > WARNING: repository name > ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/extra/atrpms/sl4-i386/stable > doesn't match any valid architecture This can also be ignored, but this repository should not be included as it might conflict with the OSCAR packages.

There were definitely smaller issues with Configbox.pm, as you just cought the first checkin. But using the latest nightly build should help. An important problem is whether your machine was clean enough before installing the nightly build. The old style start_over programm was evil and dangerous as it deleted directories in /opt even without deleting the packages, thus leaving a bunch of RPMs in corrupted state.
