Norm,

I dug into this since it was also affecting me.  It seems the fgs_installer.sh
script's final line was:

echo "+ Running base's installer"
## Finally, run the next install step from the package's installer.
$FGS_HOME/etc/fgs/install.sh $FGS_HOME $MODULES_SRC $FIRST_MODULE $2 $3 $4 $5 $6

But if there were more than six packages in the installer the rest were
ignored unless one of the first six depended on them.  I'm committing a
change to use:

$FGS_HOME/etc/fgs/install.sh $FGS_HOME $MODULES_SRC $FIRST_MODULE $2 $3 $4 $5 
$6 $7 $8 $9 $10 $11 $12 $13 $14 $15 $16 $17 $18 $19 $20 $21 $22 $23 $24 $25 $26 
$27 $28 $29 $30 $31 $32 $33 $34 $35 $36 $37 $38 $39

But if anyone knows a better syntax for all the rest of the arguments except
for $1, then I'd be pleased if they did a better fix.

Best regards,
