Yes I know I do bad things all the time ;)
I knew what I was doing, been there done that. The packages are
working fine after I did some linking things to the correct spots,
nothing major.
I can live with the annoying message I was hoping there was an exclude
or forget option that I was not aware of that I could do so it
wouldn't complain any more.
Thanks.
