Gofer problem installing packages with the same name

Hi list,
I have some issues with Gofer, maybe already known. When I evaluate:

Gofer new
squeaksource: 'Subjectivity';
package: 'Subjectivity';
load.

it seems that Gofer takes the first package named Subjectivity it
founds which in this case is
http://www.squeaksource.com/Decisionstrategy.html while I wanted to
take it from http://www.squeaksource.com/Subjectivity.html (please see
the screenshot).
After then I've tried to update "Gofer upgrade" for a fix, but it
seems it cannot connect to http://source.lukas-renggli.ch and then
entered in an endless loop. Any hint?
(Using Pharo1.2beta Latest update: #12294)

Cheers,

No, Gofer doesn't look in repositories you don't specify. However, it
uses and prefers your local package-cache if it contains a newer
version of your package (which is likely the case in your example).
You can disable the package-cache by sending something like
#disablePackageCache to your Gofer instance (I don't have an image at
hand right now, but you find it in the code and documentation).

Gofer is part of Pharo and not maintained in my repository anymore.
This #update method should be removed it is not supposed to work
anymore.

Hi Lukas,

I see. I assumed that to distinguish a newer version corresponds to
the right package, a package included meta-information about its
source repositories or some fingerprint.

Thanks, it worked fine.
