Description Geoff_C 2011-06-27 03:13:19 UTC 
When working with module suites, when a package name is altered the files "Module manifest" and "Project Metadata" are not updated with the new package name.

Any other modules within the suite that depend on the refactored module and public package are not updated either, so they need to have their properties windows opened for each module, go to "Libraries", remove the reference to the old module and create a new reference.

If you are referring to renaming a package within a module, this is a duplicate of bug #144150 or bug #151116 or bug #189503.

If you are referring to changing the code name base of a module, this is not supported - it is incompatible for any deployed installations.
