Confirmed. The issue is caused by the MCConfiguration>>updateFromRepositories which seems to be forcefully downloading newer packages even if they are loaded already. The only thing I know to do about it is to update the last configuration map to include all current packages.
could you please briefly fill me in about what a configuration map is? I have only ever used Monticello with single packages, and agree that this is a gap in my knowledge. :-) Is it some kind of "milestone" with a set of concrete versions for all packages?
As for the issue with updateFromRepositories... I haven't looked at the code yet, but wouldn't it be possible as well to check for the version (the image knows about installed versions, right?) and avoid downloading it if it is already there?
Best,
Michael
