> following message: 'MessageNotUnderstood:
> InLineLiteralsManager>>backEnd'
>
> The image built using the provided scripts shows a lot of messages
> related with undelcared variables and some of the snippets in the
> different workspaces include unimplemented messages (e.g.
> #removeUnneededBuiltins, present in the Slang test workspace, lacks
> implementors in this image). I suspect something could've gone wrong
> during the automatic package loading process. However, I seem to have
> all the necessary changesets installed (telling from a quick
> inspection of the repository using Monticello).

> I'm not familiar with the inner workings of the VM and have been
> working on this only very recently, so my apologies if I seem to be
> asking something obvious.
