I have been reading and searching and finally found a suggestion that worked for me. I just want to add it to the posiblities for anyone who finds themselves in my predicament. So here it is I hope it helps you too.

I got some satisfaction today. I copied this and pasted it here to hopefully help the lost souls looking as I was for a solution to the package manager problem. don't know if this will help all but it worked for me and it was a (simple solution?)

Guess what? The log out trick worked, I'm now able to uninstall the RC2 packages. Hopefully, I'll be able to reinstall them.
I'm not sure why I didn't think of that before, I sometimes tell our members to do exactly that, log out, log in!
I'd do a happy dance, 'cept I can't dance!
So wait. Are u now able to install mods??? and if so, how did u log out? Do you have to log out at specific point, like after downloading mod etc, or just log in then log out???
Well I just tried the log out solution and after reading 22+ pages of stuff I found one that worked. I uploaded the mod logged out, logged on and went to package manager and clicked apply mod. then logged out, I logged back on and went to package manager and hit apply mod again this time I entered my ftp password and it went through. There were a few more instructions that went fine. This was for the Ad Mod. I must have spent 12 hours looking for an answer to this here and on the mod support boards. I have other mods to load hopefully this will move them along too.
Many Thanks to bl968

I have used this on three Mods sucessfully now. SIS, Ad Mod and a biggie the Arcade Mod, no problems.
