...make the apm functions that work on singletons produce non-crashing results when packages are installed more than once. this would make life a lotter easier.

I tried your suggestion and deleted the extra trackback module, but alas, no diference. I removed all blogger insatnces also , restarted the system, but still it doesn't work. Any thoughts what could be te problem? could it be that some snippet of code remaisn behind , even after unmounting and deleting? I know it's not windblows, but still 😉

Maybe it it's an idea to make trackback optional. From an end user point of view it would create a less confusing set up. Trackback may be nice for experts, but to convicne Joe user to use a blogger service, the less techno tricks, the easier the sell.

Thanks
Ben

I changed trackback to be a singleton. That means there can only be one instance.

I think it might still break if you mount that single instance more than once, though.
