problem with LinguaPlone 2.1.1 egg and Add/Remove products

I had the traditional installation of 2.0,
I now have the egg for 2.1.1,
Add/Remove products continues to show 2.0 with no trace of 2.1.1.

If we can resolve this new issue
<http://plone.org/products/linguaplone/issues/183/>,
then I can follow advice from Maurits concerning an earlier issue
<http://plone.org/products/linguaplone/issues/168/>.

Thanks
Graham

So LinguaPlone was probably first somewhere in the parts/ directory
and now it is in your eggs directory.  That means that Zope may loose
track a bit of where to find that product.  In the ZMI go to the top
level Control Panel (so not the Plone control panel), then to Products
and remove everything there.  That will rid Zope of old locations.  It
will rebuild that control panel while restarting.

You mention in your reaction to that issue 183 that after a restart it
did work for you; so perhaps restarting is enough in cases like this.

It's a bit unfortunate that this is necessary.  The same happens for
the translations actually when you use a PloneTranslations in a
different directory or you copy a Data.fs from somewhere else.  At
least for translations I am sure that a second restart helps.

Probably. Certainly the download for 2.0 remains at

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  75867 23 Apr 04:43 /opt/Plone-3.1/buildout-cache/downloads/LinguaPlone-2.0.tar.gz

Yes.

Hmm ...

Understood, thanks.

In the ZMI view of things I now find only the one version,
LinguaPlone (Installed product LinguaPlone (2.1.1))
so it does seem that when
loss of tracking is possible/suspected, a routine may be:

* buildout
* start
* do not seek the invitation to upgrade
* stop
* start
* follow the invitation to upgrade

Thanks for the speedy response to this.

It is curious that one simple start is not enough!

Defocusing from LinguaPlone: is loss of tracking possible or likely with the many other products that have recently been eggified?
