Hi Martin,

Thanks for the prompt reply! My responses are inline below.

Are you using Admin UI for installation or API scripts?

The admin UI exclusively.
 
Does the 'installed tool shed repos' page show multiple installations of the same package (with the same changesets)? If so what are the states of these?

Yes -- the iuc package_numpy_1_7 revision a4bdc17eed4a is listed twice, with both showing the green "Installed" status. Interestingly the installed repo page shows that they're installed in different locations:

(...)/shed_tools/toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/iuc/package_numpy_1_7/ef12a3a11d5b/package_numpy_1_7
(...)/shed_tools/toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/iuc/package_numpy_1_7/a4bdc17eed4a/package_numpy_1_7

At one point during the troubleshooting steps I described in my original email, package_pybamparser_0_0_1 and package_pybamtools_0_0_1 showed up in the same way, with two records each having the same revision and a green "Installed" status.

If you check on the filesystem in the {{configured_dependency_dir}}/path/to/duplicated/package do you see any strange stuff/duplication?

I didn't see anything that struck me as out of the ordinary. Here's a gist of the directory structures for the affected packages under both shed_tools and tool_deps:

How big is your Galaxy in terms of installed tools, complexity of setup and traffic?

I don't think it's terribly big -- we have a couple of large tool suites like BEDTools, the gops interval operations suites, GATK 1 and 2, etc, and then maybe 15-20 other tools and their dependencies?

Our setup isn't very complex, either; Galaxy is running with one web process and one handler process behind an nginx reverse proxy, all running on a single machine. Jobs are submitted to our slurm cluster via the SSH CLI runner.

Traffic is pretty low -- we're just now rolling out of beta.


Cheers,

Brian
