Problem

Error generated from Drush update regarding Omega Theme. No errors reported for other modules.

Original report

Despite the error, the subsequent Drush Update went ahead but ignored Omega Theme completely.

$ drush dl omega-7.x-3.x-dev --destination=sites/all/themes
Project omega (7.x-3.x-dev) downloaded to sites/all/themes/omega.                                            [success]
Project omega contains 5 themes: starterkit_omega_xhtml, starterkit_omega_html5, starterkit_alpha_xhtml, omega, alpha.

The download worked OK but the update objected to something in Omega's extensions ... including 'misfits' which is a sub theme previously generated with drush omega-subtheme

$ drush up
Checked available update data for one project.                                                               [status]
Error while trying to find the common path for enabled extensions of project omega. Extensions are: alpha,   [error]
misfits, omega, starterkit_alpha_xhtml, starterkit_omega_html5, starterkit_omega_xhtml.

misfits was the only 'enabled' theme, so diagnostics are confusing.

Looks like you dont have omega_tools installed.

I'm having the same issue. In this case, the subtheme was created 'manually'.

I'm not having this problem any more with 8 Aug dev Omega tools and theme.

I'll mark it closed in the hope it's gone away for @olafveerman also.

With Omega tools 7.x-3.0-rc3 enabled and running drush up:

Error while trying to find the common path for enabled extensions of [error]
project omega. Extensions are: alpha, my_omega, omega,
starterkit_alpha_xhtml, starterkit_omega_html5,
starterkit_omega_xhtml.

web site is a sub-directory in DreamHost hosting.

Saw this post: http://drupal.org/node/1043038

I commented out the project line in the .info file as such:

;project = "omega"

And the error went away. Not sure why this works, but if it helps anyone else, I'm glad to have posted.

Thanks for the tip, "drush up omega" wasn't working because I created my sub-theme manually and didn't comment out project = "omega" in the .info file. Commenting out that line did the trick.

Subscribe. Exact same issue, and commenting out project = "omega" in the .info file(s) of my manually created subthemes got rid of the error. Thank you JSCSJSCS.

Did you ever find a solution to this? I have the exact same problem.

+Bump. This is still an issue. I'm still experiencing it with omega. Taking out the version, package, core, datestamp does get rid of the error but I've got this error for many modules and it's not practical or forward thinking to have to modify the distributed info files of many modules just to get drush to behave.
