btw. senior moment but how do i update the zopen beta to (a) get the most current and (b) how do I report the version of it?

Hi, the reason it is attempting to install meta multiple time is because we added meta as an auto-dependency to all packages. However, we should probably add a check to avoid doing that for meta itself.

As for updating the zopen new-installer, it should be automatic when you do a zopen upgrade, but we've had some difficulties with get a new build to succeed. Hopefully we can get that resolved soon.

The new installer also flashes messages that disappear - not good.

One message that flashed quickly was something like ./mandb implying that it was running mandb but when I ran mandb manually after the install it reported 5 man pages updated.
