    This is fixed in 1.4.1. There was a regression between 1.3.3
    and 1.3.4 that caused Packaging Utility to copy updates from
    composite type repositories with this result.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This is fixed in version 1.4.1.
    Here is the text of the technote I wrote to workaround this
    problem and fix your repository. I have replaced "1.4.1"
    with "1.3.3" for user problems now:
    
    After downgrading to Packaging Utility 1.3.3, users will no
    longer run into this error and products can be copied and
    installed successfully.
    
    To fix the local repository containing the product that was
    copied with Packaging Utility 1.3.4 or 1.4, users can do the
    following:
    
    In the local repository folder, remove the file
    "repository.xml".
    In the local repository folder under the directory
    "Offerings/", remove the product .jar file of the
    incorrectly copied product.
    Note:  If users are unsure what the product .jar file would
    be called, the format is [Id]_[Version].jar. They can find
    the Id and Version via Packaging Utility by selecting the
    offering and viewing its information.
    
    Using Packaging Utility 1.3.3, re-copy the product back into
    the repository. Note that this copy will be very fast as the
    repository artifacts were copied in the previous attempt.
