Package updater replaces {{DownloadUrl}} with empty string

I watched the video and noticed the following:

• In Settings -> Commands you used after updating an application. No idea if that works. It should work just fine though.
• I'm wondering why you decided to create a downloadurl. You should try a different local variable in case it is conflicting with something built into Ketarin.

For reference I don't use an extra variable if I don't need one:

I'm wondering if you would click on Log (Ctrl+L or View -> Show log) and show that as part of it. Then you can see how chocopkgup was actually called.

Thanks for your comment. You might remember the balsamiqmockups3 package where we decided to include the ZIP file? That's the reason I am using "after download", because otherwise the package is being built BEFORE the file has actually been downloaded. The downloadUrl variable is working just fine, I am using it in all of my packages.

Thanks a lot for the hint with Ctrl+L. I now found the reason. Because the version numbers from Room Arranger are all over the place with regards to the parts used (v8, v7.5, v7.6.9), I am doing a little processing inside Ketarin using some temporary variables. One of those variables had a newline in it. Ketarin passed that to the command line, resulting in two commands being executed:

1. The first part of the defined command until right after the version number
2. All the parameters thereafter.

You can see me realizing and fixing it here: http://screencast.com/t/fPY2AxBlz8e0
