Oct '14 and Jan'15 release, trouble installing tools from the toolshed, resetting metadata for installed repositories - galaxy-dev

20 Jan 2015


      Hello fellow galaxy users :
I noticed that trying to install some tools from the main toolshed, 
sometimes it works, others it does not.  In a specific case, trying to 
install clustalw and its dependency, I get this error message :

Same goes for resetting all metadata on installed repositories after 
update, 23 out of ~200 tools work, for the rest I get this error in 
paster.log :
tool_shed.galaxy_install.metadata.installed_repository_metadata_manager 
ERROR 2015-01-20 15:18:35,357 Error attempting to reset metadata on

self.shed_config_dict.get( 'config_filename', None ) }
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'
My galaxy contains this line for tool_conf files, and I moved all config 
files from the distrib root to the config folder:
tool_config_file = config/tool_conf.xml,config/shed_tool_conf.xml
Did I do something wrong while updating to the latest releases???
Thanks for your help!
