           Summary: Re-install of Kepler-x.y doesn't overwrite modules.txt
           Product: Kepler
           Version: 2.0.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: installer

Whenever Kepler-x.y is installed, modules.txt is overwritten to reflect the
default for Kepler-x.y. But, if Kepler-x.y is uninstalled and reinstalled, this
will not occur a second time.

Consider the following example. A user installed Kepler-2.2. Then modules.txt
will be overwritten properly. Imagine two subsequent scenarios:

(1) The user uninstalls Kepler-2.2 and then re-installs Kepler-2.2. In that
case, modules.txt will no longer be overwritten properly. Clicking on
Kepler.app may not result in Kepler-2.2 opening and the user might need to use
the Module Manager.app to solve their problem

(2) The user uninstalled Kepler-2.2 and then installs Kepler-2.3. No problem.
Modules.txt will be overwritten properly and clicking on Kepler.app will open
in Kepler-2.3 just as expected without having to resort to using the Module
Manager.app.
