Forum OpenACS Q&A: Problem Installing Some Packages From Repo

OpenACS Fans,

I can't seem to install some packages from the repo. I've seen this running OpenACS on a FreeBSD box installed via the FreeBSD port and am now also seeing it on an OpenSolaris box where I installed OpenACS, version 5.4.1, from source. When I, for example, try to install the photo-album package, I get a 500 internal server error. Afterwards I checked my packages directory and the photo-album directory had been created, and contained one file - photo-album.info. Going back to the install software page, it listed Photo Album as being installed. I did manage to get it installed by checking it out of CVS and running the PostgreSQL create script manually. Afterwards, I tried installing another package, User Profile, from the repo and it installed successfully. Is this a known problem?
