Hi Michael,


In addition to what Tomasz already said...

So WPKG complains that the package 'wpkg' does not exist at all. It cannot find
it in any packages/*.xml or within packages.xml and even not within the local
settings.xml (if it would have been installed already).

Let's read on...

As you see your "wpkg-settings" package depends on "wpkg". That's why WPKG tries
to install the package with id "wpkg" first but it seems not to be there at all.
Please check packages.xml and verify that the package "wpkg" exists.

Here you add "wpkg-settings" to the "default" profile. See above.
"wpkg-settings" depends on "wpkg". Make sure this package exist.
