#3455: Grass 7.2.1 returns "Extension(...)not found" when installing addon
-------------------------+-------------------------
 Reporter:  bcbernardo   |      Owner:  grass-dev@…
     Type:  defect       |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal       |  Milestone:
Component:  Default      |    Version:  unspecified
 Keywords:               |        CPU:  Unspecified
 Platform:  Unspecified  |
-------------------------+-------------------------
 In GRASS GIS 7.2.1 (from the QGIS 2.18 suite), running on Windows 7 32
 bits SP1, installing any addon with g.extension returns:

 {{{
 Downloading precompiled GRASS Addons <extension.name>...
 "ERROR: Extension <extension.name> not found"
 }}}

 Running the module with verbose flag on adds the following line to result:

 {{{
 "Downloading source code for <extension.name> from
 <http://wingrass.fsv.cvut.cz/grass72/x86/addons/grass-7.2.1/extension.name.zip>
 which is identified as 'remote_zip' type of source..."
 }}}

 I have been trying to perform these installations for a few days, with no
 results, in more than one computer at my workplace. Re-installing QGIS
 suite does not appear to make any difference. The company's policy on
 downloading and opening executable files will not allow me to install a
 GRASS GIS stand-alone. I do can download the zipfile manually from the
 wingrass http index, though, which makes me think it is not a matter of
 server availability (as reported
 [https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/262210/grass-gis-addon-extension-
 not-found-could-the-problem-be-with-the-grass-addon elsewhere]) or
 internet access restrictions.
