Hello,

@Babptist : it should be pkg -d, shouldn't it? Or do I miss again something here?

With today's update to pkg 1.21.1 the problem has vanished. 

@R. Hurling: Thanks for the tip using the checks. I missed that and somehow it revealed some
problems here I hopefully have fixed so far.

Kind regads and thanks,

oh
