v.db.pyupdate warning during installation

[ecodiv]

Name of the addon
v.db.pyupdate

Describe the problem
When installing it through g.extension, I got the following warning:

WARNING: Extension <v.db.pyupdate> already installed. Re-installing...

ValueError:

The addon installs though, so this is not really a bug. However, it would be good to get rid of the warning.

To Reproduce

Run g.extension extension=v.db.pyupdate operation=add

Expected behavior

Install without the warning messages

While the "multi addon" part and the involvement of the test_v_db_py directory look like a real issue, I can't reproduce this with current main. I get the Fetching message the first time and Re-installing... message the second time. Can you do more testing? Do other tools behave the same? What is in your ~/.grass8/addons/ directory?

@wenzeslaus sorry for the late response.

• If I remove the ~/.grass8/addons/ directory and install the v.db.pyupdate addon first, I do not get an error message.
• If I first install another addon and then v.db.pyupdate, I get the error message above. I tried this with various addons (each time deleting the addons directory first, to have clean state).
