Do you have updated SqueakMap in the image? I think what
is happening is this: SqueakMap loaded the 2.1 version,
updating to the next alpha then will try to merge in the SqueakMap
changes in the 3.9a repository. For that, it tries to get the common  
ancestor.

Now the repository registered with the in-image SqueakMap pakcages is
wrong (old?) (modules.squeak...), resulting in the error.

There is no really good way... the update stream allow to load a script
then then merges with the latest in the 3.9a repository. But that's  
slow,
and sometimes the results are not good... (see earlier discussions on
the list).

for 3.9b we think about using an updates based updatestream for  
making it
easier to track changes.
