[sword-devel] Xiphos not seeing eBible.org repository?

[pierre amadio]

Hi there !

I do not have a Ubuntu 18.04 ready to try out, but you should be able to
check wether the problem is within the sword library itself by trying to
perform the same task with installmgr.

installmgr -r eBible.org
installmgr -ri eBible.org fraLSG1910eb

If this did not work, double check if you have write permission in all the
directory tree under your $SWORD_PATH directroy (i guess you have this
permission ok otheryise no module would install though).
