[SOLVED] Rather strange: double Component 2.0.8e, AIO modules still at 2.0.7e!

[lliseil]

Hi, got a rather strange situation with a double VirtueMart Component 2.0.8e and AIO modules still at 2.0.7e 

Did nothing special:
1. this on-line shop was successfully migrated from Joomla 1.5/Vm1.1 to Vm 2.0.7e (as it got some small errors in the migrator corrected)
2. The strangeness happened right after the update from 2.0.7e to 2.0.8e (which appeared to be successful)
I quickly talked with alatak who got as surprised as I am.

Here are the presently installed extensions:

My first goal is reporting to the team.
Also I'd like to understand the issue and get rid of it; the owner of that shop is not a dev at all, and I'd rather let him go with a clean install


Here are the testing host specs:

Needless to say I tried to uninstall then reinstall: first AIO only, then Vm + AIO. No luck so far.
How do you think we should go to solve this?

I just tried this on a copy of the shop:

a) uninstall every single Vm extension;
b) install Vm 2.0.10: succes, then AIO: succes

Everything looks back to normal: No more dupe component nor 2.0.7e module Only lost the modules configuration (maybe half an hour to re-do)
I bet the fault was on my side and I should have deleted every single Vm extension when updating from 2.0.7 to 2.0.8?

For the devs: installing com_virtuemart.2.0.10 and com_virtuemart.2.0.10_ext_aio on top of existing 2.0.8 / 2.0.7 (on the very same site) keep the mess:

Proceeding with the folowing 2 steps worked succesfully on the production web site:
a) uninstall every single Vm extension;
b) install Vm 2.0.10: succes, then AIO: succes
