why Official supported images are not suitable for updating process ?
because in the past images contained software artifacts that we did not control.
And if not which are ? That sound extremely weird by the way.
Does that mean , updating is useless ?
No but not for released versions. We update daily our images with updates.
Whats the purpose of updating in Pharo ?

yep, this is an outstanding problem with metacello configuration..
yes.
loading any project config, which involves loading metacello it gives you this error, but if you retry the same code i.e. MyConfiguration .. load, it works

Should not this error get fixed ?
who said we will not fix it?

because in the past images contained software artifacts that we did not control.
So , does that still mean that the all in one package of pharo from the official website still contains artifacts you cannot control ? and that updating does not depend on you but also by third parties ?Â
No but not for released versions. We update daily our images with updates.
I am confused what type of images we are talking about  here ? any type of customised image ? Dont all images start or are based on released images ? Does that means that those images contain fixes to this problem ? or does that mean that those images dont contain any of the problematic software ?
who said we will not fix it?
None I was just asking Ok so I should not update and instead manually update and install.Â

No now not anymore.
and that updating does not depend on you but also by third parties ?
sorry I do not get it.

Ok so I should not update and instead manually update and install.
No but on released images we normally disable updates. Now you found a bug probably due to a change in Metacello
