Previous package is being installed/updated instead of FormIt

I'm running into this issue and I remember having this once before. When updating FormIt, it selects the previously installed package instead.

Fortunately it is easily solved by clearing the cache, but it's still weird and a little spooky of course.

The environment on which this occurs:

• MODX 2.5.6
• Vagrant box with Ubuntu 14.04/Nginx/PHP 7.1

@hugopeek Can't seem to reproduce this issue, but I doubt it's a FormIt issue.. I think it's a MODX caching issue to be honest.

@joeke Thanks for looking into it. Yes, that makes more sense actually and I've been able to reproduce it the other way around now too, with SEOPro attempting to install FormIt. The strange thing is that I updated a few other packages in between without issues, but when I reached SEOPro it explicitly fell back to FormIt and not the previous package installed..

I then tried it in a different browser (latest regular FF, instead of latest FF dev edition) and there the installer would fetch and properly install SEOPro again. So that's without clearing MODX cache, only a new login with the same user..

Could browser cache have anything to do with this?

I ran into the same issue. MODX 2.5.8 has this in the changelog:

• Fixed issue with incorrect signature during installing two packages with setup options [#13557]

Ah, that sounds good! Didn't try it yet, but I will eat my hat (and reopen this issue) if that doesn't fix it..
