Yes you are right, and I should have seen this 2 days earlier - it would have save me some trouble ;-) I just realized that last night and had quickly to recreate my local repo. So during my tests all looked fine on install, until I tried to run software I installed from my repo. Then I realized all files where still gziped. So now all works well - more details to follow in a separate email.
