I know what is going on. The PackageDownloader asks the PackageInstaller 
to scan for the current list of packages. To determine the current list 
of packages every Cuis package file on disk is scanned. That scanning 
involves loading its changesets somehow. The changeset of some of the 
packages reference the Preferences class, that does not exist anymore. 
That triggers an error. (Actually, it is a bit weirder than that, since 
the problematic code is: (Smalltalk at: class ifAbsent: [Object class]) 
parserClass), but Smalltalk at: #Preferences gives a PreferenceSet 
instance! (I have no explanation for that part ...)

That is the problem.

Some solutions:

- Remove those packages from disk (if you empty your download directory 
there are changes that the PackageInstaller and downloader work for you.)

- Update those packages.

- Use Feature require instead of the installer (Erudite loads fine with 
Feature require btw).


I'm thinking of if something else can be done about it...
