Since extra is an add-on supplied with gretl, updating gretl should normally take care of updating the extra package for you (as well as other addons, like geoplot or dbnomics). Obviously, in this case something went wrong. Things you can try: 1) If you go to the menu entry "File>Function packages>On local machine" you should see what the available version of "extra" is. If you see two, just delete the old one. 2) From a console, type the statement "include extra.gfn": you should see something like ? include extra.gfn <some path on your machine> extra 1.5, 2022-07-28 (The gretl team) If the reported version is 1.4 (as I believe), the path you see is the version to delete PS: this time, I (as a mailing list admin) let your message thorugh "by hand", but in general the mailing list policy is that only subscribers can post messages to the list, so you should consider subscribing. ------------------------------------------------------- Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Sociali (DiSES) Università Politecnica delle Marche (formerly known as Università di Ancona) r.lucchetti(a)univpm.it http://www2.econ.univpm.it/servizi/hpp/lucchetti -------------------------------------------------------

To GRETL people I am sorry to waste your time. I used to be a subscriber of GRETL maillist (many years ago). I have used GRETL for some 15-20 years. I think there is something wrong with the ARCH linux-packaging (AUR). I could get yahoo_get-add-on working. I could go to about-gretl and update the addons. Some addons seemed out-of-date. Everything seemed to work except for the logging-add-on (error reading package). I have run an active propaganda for GRETL for many years. Thanks for a great package.
