You want the packages in the /current/ branch of the repo.
The packages in the repo root are legacy, and are no longer maintained in most cases. I hope to actually remove them from the root at some point. These *-toaster packages will continue to exist in the /current/ branch though (as they have for quite some time now). In fact, the *-toaster files in the root are the exact same files that are in /current/, as they're simply hard links so they don't take up more storage.
The directory entries in the root are only there for backwards compatibility for some non-standard scripts that some people have in the wild. For those users please get your scripts changed *now*. I might remove these root entries any time now.

I didn't get that error, I promise you. That was an upgrade though, not a fresh install. I can hopefully spot the error just by looking at it, now that I know there's one there. > thank you for you help as always ... Certainly!
