I will add this case:
Bibletime
2.11.1
1.8.1
Ubuntu 18.04
PASS
Bibletime
2.11.1
1.7.3
Ubuntu 18.04
Fails
The pattern seems to be Sword 1.81 pass, Sword 1.7.3 fail.
Based on how BibleTime failed, I would guess the issue is in Sword and
how it handles languages that don't have a specific locales.d/*.conf file.

Thank you, Pierre.
The two installmgr commands you suggested worked on Ubuntu 18.04. Xiphos still
failed.

Hi there !
I do not have a Ubuntu 18.04 ready to try out, but you should be able to check
wether the problem is within the sword library itself by trying to perform the
same task with installmgr.
installmgr -r eBible.org
installmgr -ri eBible.org fraLSG1910eb
If this did not work, double check if you have write permission in all the
directory tree under your $SWORD_PATH directroy (i guess you have this
permission ok otheryise no module would install though).

It looks to me like the conditions for failure are running Ubuntu 18.04
Bionic Beaver OR running Bibletime 2.10.1. Presumably the latter problem can be
safely ignored, since it appears to have been fixed in the current version.
However, it seems to me to be worth investigating what it is about Ubuntu 18.04
Bionic Beaver that is causing a module manager failure in both Bibletime and
Xiphos. Is it the older version of the Sword engine? If so, why does that
version work on the previous LTS version of Ubuntu?
This seems to be a worthy puzzle to solve. Ubuntu LTS releases are the
ones supported by UBS and SIL for Bible translation use, and the Bible
translations in the eBible.org repository are frequently used as reference
works by Bible translators. Not only that, but for many end users, the only
Bible in their own language is in the eBible.org repository.
Any clues?
