Addon Install Error

First I admit I have not traced this one done fully ...

When installing a package (that makes use of db_table(), and uses a var $table as part of its database install code)  the $table object in the controller is getting overwritten.

This results in calling an object on a non object fatal error ... honestly not sure if this is from using the $table var in the addon db installer or if its happening inside the package.controller, etc ... Anyway this is a workaround since I needed something quick so I can keep working.  In some ways we may want a naming convention for object vars ($obj_elk_blabla ?) to help avoid collisions, don't know.
