Thanks for the help Gea, one thing i'm confused about is i started with a base iso of OI 151a3, ran pkg update and got all the updates, rebooted, installed napp-it, rebooted again, then tried the afp installer. I should have been on the latest release of OI at that time and unaffected by that bug?
then it should work
but all is under heavy development (OI, napp-it and netatalk)
