[sword-devel] InstallMgr does not install modules in several conditions

[yvand]

Thank your for your reply.
Indeed the order is detailed in the file INSTALL.
Never mind (I think installmgr should output an error, and I still don't 
understand why installmgr creates and uses ~/.sword/Installmgr, and is 
not able to create ~/.sword/mods.d...)
