As I'm often working with package building, a lot of my directories are called according the package names. I just happened to run into the case where: > pkcon install arista reported Command failed: Expected package name, actually got file. Try using 'pkcon install-local arista' instead. This simply due to the fact that I happened to be in a directory where a child 'arista' existed. Maybe that error message / check for file should only happen if the catalog did not return anything... otherwise, assume the user was smarter :) This was with PK 1.0.0
