Yeap, linux VMs are not shipped with the plugin since a couple of years. Then, the code in the image is needed.

This whole f*ing mess makes me angry and sad. This happens when you don't clean up when you can.
One thing that I still do not understand from back when I tried to contribute to Squeak was that âcleaningâ was not only discouraged but even *actively* made impossible.
