Yes, I know that this works with original ppm.
Apparently, this behaviour has changed with ppm3 . . .

Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we

ppm3 searches all _active_ repositories. I have used the SET FIELDS command to
include the repository in the list returned from the search. This shows where the
modules are. (See below)
ppm> search net-ping
Searching in Active Repositories
1. Net-Ping [2.18] ActiveState PPM2 Repository [http://ppm.ActiveSt~
2. Net-Ping [2.18] ActiveState Package Repository [http://ppm-ia.Ac~
3. Net-Ping-External [0.10] ActiveState PPM2 Repository [http://ppm.ActiveSt~
4. Net-Ping-External [0.10] ActiveState Package Repository [http://ppm-ia.Ac~
ppm> set
fields: name version repository
...
When you list the repositories with the rep command:
ppm> rep
Repositories:
[1] ActiveState PPM2 Repository
[2] ActiveState Package Repository
[3] Jenda
[4] RothConsulting
[5] Winnipeg
The repositories with numbers are active, you can activate and unacticate a repository
with the rep on/off command.
ppm> rep off 4
Repositories:
[1] ActiveState PPM2 Repository
[2] ActiveState Package Repository
[3] Jenda
[4] Winnipeg
[ ] RothConsulting
