Comment 2 Nimimo 2013-06-04 16:17:13 UTC

This works with both kinds of paths.  Thanks!

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-06-04 16:20:14 UTC

Closing based on verification comment 2.

Fix will appear in the next release (4.1.2 probably)

Comment 4 Nimimo 2013-06-04 20:49:40 UTC

I just noticed the change breaks downloaded packages.

Comment 5 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-06-05 09:20:41 UTC

Comment 6 Nimimo 2013-06-05 09:47:05 UTC

This works in all cases — with package names and package paths.
