Topic: Contribs Addin install(s) fail - lists "nothing to do"

[Lowell Fuher]

Have installed a fresh install of 8 beta 6 on my P4 - testing prior to replacing my 7.5 box.  While testing the current updates appear to properly install - via yum - but when I attempt to add in any contrib the result is as listed below when I attempt to install for example http://wiki.contribs.org/Diskusage results ;

Nothing to do

I had an earlier version on this same mobo (believe it was 8 beta 4 ) ant things appeard quite stable and normal.  I have been through most every scenerio that I can think of (not my first rodeo) reloaded several times, been through the 8 beta forum in search of a similar challange, reviewed thread http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,47508.0.html closely which i got proper results that were incicated, still no help.

One thought, this box is inside my network - behind my 7.5 SME box, could this be my challange?  Never been an issue before, but hey....

Would prefer to setup my replacement SME box in house with the upgrades listed in 8, with full understanding that it is still beta.

Thoughts?

There are no contribs yet released for sme8 so there is no smecontribs repo for sme 8.

You need to set up the sme 7 smecontribs repo appropriately in sme 8bx

see http://wiki.contribs.org/SME8.0_Contribs_QA

Actually there is, but it is empty.
