[squeak-dev] Installer loading cryptography mcm files: used to work (I think) and doesn't now

A little while back - late May (or as we refer to it around here, very late March) - we had a thread about loading the Cryptography package etc. I'd swear that 

(Installer ss) project: 'Cryptography';  install: 'ProCrypto-1-1-1'.

worked to load it. There are multiple emails referring to that; it's what rww sugested.

Today it fails because the two repositories that the read-in MCConfiguration has are set with a location of #nil (not nil, #nil). This is a *plain 5.3-19435 release image, freshly started* and just run the incantation in a workspace. I've tried several older configurations from the Cryptography repository in case I screwed up the mcm file, but no change.   When I examine the mcm files they clearly don't have any repository names in there. I'm baffled how using that install command could have loaded anything. 

Somewhere I must have done some prior required thing in those earlier tests and failed to note it, surely? Right now I'm just assuming this is 2020 having fun with me...
