<p>This seems to me to be likely to be some kind of configuration problem. In particular, what is the "wanted" setting for the repo running the assistant? If it's not "standard" then the fact that it's in the "manual" group won't affect the assistant's behavior.</p>
<p>If that's not it, it would probably help to paste the entire vicfg display, so I can replicate the config (or share the repo).</p>

<p>Thanks for your fast reply, Joey. I appended the shortened config below. Wanted and groupwanted were untouched and therefore still commented out. I removed the hash from wanted to explicitly set it standard. Now the assistant behaves as expected. However I’m wondering:</p>
<ul>
<li>Shouldn’t ‘standard’ be the default rule to apply for wanted/groupwanted in case both are not explicitly set in the config? I assumed this to be the case.</li>
<li>Shouldn’t “find --want-get” list the identical set of files that is also requested by the assistant? Especially this one confused me.</li>
</ul>

<p>I need to look into why --want-get didn't behave as expected.</p>
<p>It would probably make sense to make standard be the default. There could be upgrade concerns though.</p>
