Package removed after trying to update them

Questions & Answers
1

I installed Racket from git HEAD. When I tried to update some packages, the process failed in the middle so the packages got removed in the end. Has anyone encountered similar problems?

I am not sure why gui-easy-lib appeared twice in the updating list. Could that be the problem?

Not sure what the issue is, but I’ve occasionally had issues updating gui-easy by doing raco pkg update gui-easy. Using gui-easy-lib as the name sometimes helps. But there shouldn’t be anything special about the way it’s configured relative to other packages that use that split, so I’m not really sure what’s happening.

Thanks a lot! I guess it's not just me having this issue.

I opened an issue and @ Bogdanp has updated the dependency list since, so hopefully raco pkg update gui-easy now works.

raco pkg update gui-easy should be working now. @ Bogdanp has updated the package dependency to avoid duplication.

Great! That also motivated me to notice new GUI Easy features :slight_smile:
