Hi all,

I'm trying to bootstrap my buckminster builds by using scripts to automate
the installation of a headlesss buckminster.

The first thing I do is install headless buckminster using director and then
I issue "buckminster install..." commands as needed by that product build.

This works file if I give director an absolute path for the install folder
(-d option) . However, if I use a relative path with ".." in it,
buckminster appears to install fine and to the correct folder but when I
later issue "buckminster install.." commands I get the following error.

An error occurred while installing the items
[0]session context was:(profile=Buckminster,
phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.
provisional.p2.engine.phases.Install, operand=null --> [R]com.ibm.icu.base
4.0.1
..v20090415,
action=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.ac tions.InstallBundleAction).
[0]Error while loading manipulator.
Caused by:

Anyone know if this is a bug or am I doing something silly?

Thanks,
Tas

Hi Tas,
You're not doing anything silly :-). This is a bug in the director application. It should normalize the destination path
that is passed to it but it doesn't.

I take it that means it's a known bug and I don't need to report it?

OK. I'll try and workaround in my script.. though I can't think how.

Thanks,
Tas
