I managed to install my own program by . ssc inst labellacking and I can see the files by using -ssc type-. I can only surmise that Sergiy is trying some browser route. As always, a browser may tell you that a package exists, but -ssc- remains the recommended method of installation. The specific difficulty here probably arises from Kit's inability to do everything at once; the details on repec will no doubt follow the installation on the SSC server. Kit is catching up on a backlog of installation requests. I for one remain indefinitely grateful for his labours in making my stuff accessible over several years.
