Oops. I can at the least check the tests. Tests-Monticello is #green before attempting to load up. I updated the image, then ran

> Installer ensureRecentMetacello.

I got this error: 'Working copy for STON-Core-cypress.1 not found'

Unable to retest Tests-Monticello, as the Metacello load broke.

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.
