Hi nicolas this is strange because I always update all the updates from the latest unstable published by marcus (so yes it can be long) and I never get this error. May be you have a broken sources files or something like that. I update often multiple times especially when I integrate changes to make sure that I do not a strange changes around. and I never get such error. What is your OS?

Hi guys, Updating Pharo from the update stream failed many times and keep on failing for me... But maybe it's just me...
So I picked the unstable link from the web site (http://www.pharo-project.org/pharo-download/unstable-core) This drives me to a 13091 image. The first thing I do is select the 'update system' menu... Err, it fails... It seems related to broken sources... Well the image points to which source file ? can't remember the incantation, let just browse it... Err, no source, I can't browse. No matter, I set the browser to decompile mode... Err, this does not work, I still can't browse code. Hmm very bad starting experience, I know what unstable means, but I was dreaming of other words like continuous development.
So ket's open an older image (my own updated 1.2) to find the incantations. (Scanner>>#scanTokens:) fileIndex -> 1, so it seems that the source file is corrupted. (SourceFiles at: 1) -> MultiByteFileStream: '/Users/nicolas/Smalltalk/Squeak/pharo/PharoV10.sources'
Well, for my previous Pharo images, this very file works ! How damned can be the file be changed and the version not incremented ?
Is it me who did something wrong ? Or the update process somewhere did condense the sources ? Or did someone elese messed with the sources ? Is it a known problem ?
Any help appreciated.
