Hi,

I'm having a strange problem with the package loader when installing some packages (like eCompletion, Seaside and probably others). I can install other normally like Shout.

I can reproduce the error following the steps: (in both Linux and Windows 2000, without a firewall and an ADSL connection)

1) Download a fresh squeak build (have tried with 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9aversions) 2) Starts it and next SqueakMap 3) Update package loader to version 2.1 (whan asked) 4) Install Shout(4) 5) Try to install eCompletion and it hangs with the wait cursor on the screen (i have to close squeak then) 5a) If i don't update package loader to version 2.1 it gives other error:
