I encountered the exact problem as MikTeX 2.9 without list of packages in settings program.

Now I figure out it may be a bug of MiKTeX. It misnamed one package. The correct package should be uni-wtal-ger, but MiKTeX named it as uni-wtal-get, so miktex reports it do not know uni-wtal-ger. See http://www.ctan.org/pkg/uni-wtal-ger and also

uni-wtal-ger info

Miktex can name its package as it like. The miktex package is on CTAN in systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/uni-wtal-get.tar.lzma. The uni-wtal-get may be a typo but it should not be a problem as long as the miktex databases use this name too. As it works fine for me try at first to synchronize the repository databases (package manager, menu repository).

Yes I can use package manager as you see the first pic, but I can not use Miktex options/package to generate the package tree which is more organized. – Ma Ming May 18 '11 at 16:19

I see. I hadn't realized that you meant miktex options (mo.exe) and not mpm.exe. It is probably a type in a miktex database. I have made a bug report. – Ulrike Fischer May 18 '11 at 16:50

It seems fixed in the recent update! – Ma Ming May 30 '11 at 21:10
