When I try to update, nothing happens

I'm on version 0.4.2. When I load the add-ons page, I see that there is an update available for the chromecast add-on. When I click "Update", it says "Updating..." but then nothing happens after that. This was in my logs:

This is the same as #6, which this update fixed. Try this:

• Disable the add-on through the UI
• Update it
• Re-enable it

If that still doesn’t work, you may want to try restarting the gateway after disabling the add-on.

Oh. hah. I thought that error looked familiar. Sorry for double-reporting. I had to do this to get it working again:

1. disable the add-on through the UI
2. restart the gateway
3. update the add-on through the UI
4. restart the gateway
5. enable the add-on through the UI

Now it appears to be working though.
