Same result -

     jsb at jsb-VirtualBox:~/sword-1.7.3/utilities > cd ~/
     jsb at jsb-VirtualBox:~ > installmgr -ri CrossWire ESV
         Couldn't find remote source [CrossWire]

     jsb at jsb-VirtualBox:~ > sudo installmgr -ri CrossWire ESV
         Remote source [CrossWire] does not make available module [ESV]
