Problem with adding packages from CD?

[Charles Swarts]

The updated Package Manager will fix the problem.  I found a post before
that detailed a problem installing packages from cd and suggested
installing the updated Package Manager.  I did.  I can now install
packages from the cd's and I have had no other problems.
