I'm pretty sure SpaceYExpanded references textures from SpaceY, and SpaceY has changed its directory structure at some point and SpaceYExpanded has not yet been updated. So this isn't really a metadata bug, unless we wanted to set a max version on the relationship from SpaceYExpanded.

Pinging @NecroBones and @zer0Kerbal to weigh in.

I can't speak to how it's been modified, but yes that's correct-- SpaceYExpanded was designed as an extension and requires SpaceY to be installed for the textures.

I think the following ~issue~ Pull Request is related to this problem:

@zer0Kerbal totally reorganized this mod for his own reasons. Until he fixes SpaceYExpanded, there isn't anything that CKAN can do to fix this

AFAIK, SpaceYExpanded is fixed - but CKAN choose not to index it. See #9533

On a (more or less, it's my dev install) clean KSP 1.12.5 installment, I installed the most recent versions of:

• https://spacedock.info/mod/88/SpaceY%20Heavy%20Lifters%20(SYL)%20by%20NecroBones
• https://spacedock.info/mod/89/SpaceY%20Expanded%20(SYX)%20by%20NecroBones

fired the thing up, and then tried to reproduce the problem mentioned by @heyimastopsign :

It's working for me - but nothing on this rig was installed using CKAN.

Actually it IS indexed from spacedock, however it was frozen 4 years ago because of inactivity. PR #9533 is actually not the correct change, but we can get this unfrozen so that the more recent and future versions will be available on ckan.

And done! Any further updates can be submitted as PRs to this file: https://github.com/KSP-CKAN/NetKAN/blob/master/NetKAN/SpaceY-Expanded.netkan

My understanding was that @zer0Kerbal was working on updating both mods
