"the OpenCSW says the package does not exist" doesn't mean anything. 
Which package catalog are you using, what is the command you use to 
install the package, and what is the error string you get ?

Indeed, but that's just a failure on a web page, in a section called 
'uWatch information', which sound like some kind of automatic version 
check. Nothing to do with an installation failure.

I've no such trouble myself...
