Description Peter Nabbefeld 2011-09-15 07:52:15 UTC 
When location of some module changes, AU cannot correctly update it, because AU tries to remove the old version from the destination folder instead from its current location.

see bug #201232 for a discussion about that problem (update of org.apache.commons.codec and org.apache.commons.lang in that case).

The location of module should not change between updates. The supported use-case is the autoupdate should be able to deliver patches for the one major version of product (patch1 for 7.3), for patches the placement of modules cannot change.

Right, it makes sense, it is a possible improvement in AU.
