Description David Williams CLA 2007-05-20 00:49:57 EDT 
When I try to install something from Europa, I see the digest can not be parsed. 

downloading the digest.zip file, and examing it, 
it appears the offending line is 

	<includes id="org.eclipse.tptp.test.tools.junit" version="4.4.0.v200704260100-7A7A-1mA55P5J5J5E_8" optional="true"search-location="2" /> 

Note there is no space between the "true" attribute value, and the 'search-location' attribute name. 

From the disest.xml file, this appears to be in the 4.3.0 version of the 
org.eclipse.tptp.test.tools feature. 

I actually could not find this error in either 4.3.1 or 4.3.0 version from TPTP download site ... but, not sure I'm getting exactly the right stuff. 

Or .. the digest is _really_ messed up and the error is coming from somewhere else. 

I marked as major since this error basically means the digest can not be used 
by update manager, hence is loss of function.

I think this is a jarPackager bug because the feature.xml in org.eclipse.tptp.test.tools_4.3.0.v200705040100-7E7C-1vNDHQ96HMBZBQ6K6FA9.jar on the TPTP update side has:

<includes
         id="org.eclipse.tptp.test.tools.junit"
         version="4.4.0.v200704260100-7A7A-1mA55P5J5J5E_8"
         optional="true"/>

and thus the search-location="2" is being added by the packager.

Moving to Platform/Update.

The Eclipse Update component is no longer under development, and no longer exists in the Eclipse Platform 4.x stream. If this problem still occurs in Eclipse Platform 4.2 or later, please enter a new bug report against Equinox p2.
