Discussion
Additional info:- Seemingly same issue as discussed by multiple users at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Support/AddExtensionInstallerProblem
- Sounds similar or identical to Item5660 (but this page has more info)
- An old and closed issue with a similar error message exists as Item3360 - may be completely different, but thought I should post just in case.
- This item may warrant a move to Urgent priority, if it is affecting multiple users trying to install any plugin for TWiki 4.2? Candidate for fix in 4.2.1, or even a patch?
extender.pl, so the size of the installer script is a dead giveaway. Also there will be a date before which packages will have been done the 'old way' by default.
For anyone with a subversion checkout it's trivial to republish all the extensions, e.g. for plugins foreach ext in *Plugin; do (cd $ext/lib/TWiki/Plugins/$ext; perl build.pl release); done (untested, but I'm sure you get the idea)

I will do it. Scheduled for the weekend.
-- TWiki:Main.OliverKrueger - 03 Jul 2008
Examined some installer files to see, which extensions need a rebuild and compliled the following list of rebuild candidates:
TWiki:Main.OliverKrueger - 05 Jul 2008
I buried the idea of autmatically republish the plugins. Kenneth kindly warned me about extensions once put into svn but actually being developed via t.o.
I will continue to republish them manually - a few each day. Feel free to change the order of the listing above to prioritise important plugins.
-- TWiki:Main.OliverKrueger - 06 Jul 2008
I've rebuilt TWiki:Plugins.ToolTipPlugin - Trial release attached to the Dev topic. I'll update it once I get some feedback.
-- TWiki:Main.GeorgeClark - 29 Aug 2008
I look forward to the successful completion of this bug. 
-- TWiki:Main.CharlesHowes - 07 Oct 2008
Im coordinating the work on this item with TopicNameMappingTable. Its probably a good idea to combine this task with the mass re-releasing of extenions in our new home.
-- OliverKrueger - 11 Nov 2008
Closing this topic, since every extension which is ported to this websites repository is/will be rebuild from svn and therefore gets a fresh extender.pl.
