OK

    https://github.com/frankshearar/squeak-ci/blob/master/run-test.sh

executes
   XML-Parser.st

which contains

Installer installUrl: 'http://source.squeak.org/trunk/XML-Parser-ael.35.mcz'.

HDTestReport runPackage: 'XML-Parser'.

"Throw away the dirty image."
WorldState addDeferredUIMessage: [ SmalltalkImage current snapshot:
false andQuit: true ].


I assume this operates on a trunk image which has the XML-Parser removed?

In which script does that happen?
