I was one of the original authors of -ssc-, but
I don't understand how it works...
More precisely, the hard work here is done by -net-.
-net-, I believe, looks in stata.trk to keep track
of what you have installed using -net-.
You can look at your stata.trk to see what is there
by
. findfile stata.trk, all
but don't edit it!
The ", all" here is a check to see if you have
something bizarre, namely two or more stata.trk files
as a consequence of your complicated history, which
shouldn't happen.
Somehow, I guess, your stata.trk indicates installations
in a way that doesn't map to your present set of
files. The remedy was just to clear the relevant bit
of history and start again.
In fact you can do it all through -ssc-:
. ssc uninst catplot
. ssc inst catplot
StataCorp may want to add to this (or subtract from it).
