Looking a little closer, it looks like 4.2 is supposed to use the same set of packages as Pharo which implies that the repository should be 'http://source.lukas-renggli.ch/omnibrowser' in the configuration baseline and not http://source.wiresong.ca/ob. My guess is that the packages were in the package-cache when the configuration was tested.

I doubt that would work. Lukas' version of OB has Pharo specific code which is not compatible with Squeak.

Just in case anyone is still having problems getting OB into a 4.2 image...

I put a pragmatic solution for this into the inbox as Morphic-MAD.512, but the problem with the unexpected changes to the postscript and pre-amble seem to have derailed its adoption, so for anyone having problems with the loading of OmniBrowser, here's a more reliable version of that part of the "Extending the system" samples:

"Omnibrowser including Refactoring engine and OCompletion. Version 1.2"
Installer ss project: 'MetacelloRepository'; install: 'ConfigurationOfOmniBrowser'.
((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfOmniBrowser) project perform: #version: with: '1.2') load: #(Dev).

"Omnibrowser latest release - may include Pharo-specific code!!"
(Installer ss project: ''MetacelloRepository'') install: ''ConfigurationOfOmniBrowser''.
((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfOmniBrowser) project perform: #lastVersion) load: #(Dev).

I've just tested it with a virgin 4.2 install, and the first snippet loads OB fine.
