Hi,

When trying to install an add-on with g.extension, it actually get’s installed, but the error message tells me the install failed. The example below is with r.mess, but the same happens with other add-ons.

Fetching <r.mess> from GRASS-Addons SVN (be patient)…

On Fedora it works, which Linux do you use? Please post that to the
