Installation through KDE Store no longer works.

[koenhendriks]

I've just updated to Plasma 6 and am trying to reinstall Mudeer.

When I try to download the Mudeer KWin script it shows me to option to pick either mudeer-KDE5.kwinscript or mudeer-KDE6.kwinscript

But when I click the install button nothing happens. The pop window just disappears and Mudeer doesn't seem to have been installed.

I tried manually building / installing and receive an error about the metadata:

make install                                                                                                                                    ✔

I am trying to debug this. Did you have a previous version of the plugin installed?

[koenhendriks]

I did yes, I used to have Plasma 5 but updated this week. After the update it said I didn't have it installed anymore and I tried to install the Plasma 6 variant.

When checking manually I found it was still in ~/.local/share/kpackage/generic/mudeer/ and in ~/.local/share/kwin/. I've manually removed both those directories.

store / manual installation doesn't work for me either. I have same messages as for @koenhendriks , so I will skip inserting mine.

[darkstego]

So, I was able to get a machine with a similar issue and did the following to fix it

kpackagetool6 -t KWin/Script -r mudeer
rm -r ~/.local/share/kpackage/generic/mudeer
rm -r ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/mudeer 

After that, you logout of KDE and log back in, and then try to install the script. Please tell me if this works.

One more thing to try in case manual install is broken. In the makefile can you change the install section to be the following:

install: build
		kpackagetool6 -u $(PKGFILE) \
		|| kpackagetool6 -i $(PKGFILE)

I ran into this same issue. I figured out that the reason is that the package type flag was not being passed to the upgrade/install command, and so it was being put into the wrong directory. I've sent PR #26 to fix this.
