Which mod are you trying to install?

[tommyb554]

every mod, also kicks up the same error trying to update any

[HebaruSan]

OK, which mods do you already have installed?

OK, what is the exact nature of the changes you made "yes but deleted when ckan was installed"?
I notice that ModuleManager is not listed among your installed mods, but it's probably a requirement for several. Did you by any chance have a manual install of ModuleManager, and then remove it?

[tommyb554]

moduleManager is installed but is not managed and has AD in the installed columns

[HebaruSan]

What is the exact nature of the changes you made "yes but deleted when ckan was installed"?

[tommyb554]

when ckan was installed i deleted all the mods and installed them again through ckan

[HebaruSan]

... except for ModuleManager. Any other exceptions?

[tommyb554]

when ckan was installed i deleted all the mods and installed them again through ckan

[HebaruSan]

Except that you just said:

moduleManager is installed but is not managed and has AD in the installed columns

... so you did not delete ModuleManager and install it again through CKAN.

[politas]

Are there some mods that have a version requirement for ModuleManager, and if so, would that fail on an AD ModuleManager?

[HebaruSan]

I believe AD mods are considered to satisfy all version requirements:

Looks like we're not going to get enough info to reproduce.
