How many profiles do you have? Which profiles are assigned to the Host and how many Packages are assigned to the profile? Probably you can provide a full debug log as written by WPKG. My guess is that there are simply no profiles assigned to the host or the profile does not have any packages defined - so finally the host will not have any packages to install. WPKG only installs the packages which are assigned to the profile which is assigned to a host. br, Rainer |
