[Cuis-dev] AssertionFailure in prePackageInstall of package Morphic-Misc1

[Bernhard Pieber]

Hi Ken,

Ah, you are right! I did something slightly different. I had put my image and changes into a sibling folder of Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev to avoid making the Git repository dirty should I save my image. I did not copy the CuisV5.sources file, though. There was no warning on startup because of a missing sources file so I assumed it was part of the VM which is the case for current Squeak VMs. Alas, that assumption was false. Hence the missing timestamps, which led to the symptom.

As long as I don’t use #abandonSources it should be safe to use a symbolic link to the CuisV5.sources file and use it from several images, right?

Thanks for looking into this.

Cheers,
Bernhard
