MetacelloPackageSpec>>explicitLoadUsing: problem when repository offline
(squeaksource down)
http://code.google.com/p/metacello/issues/detail?id=156MetacelloPackageSpec>>explicitLoadUsing: may not load a newer version of
the requested package when one or more of the repositories are down and it
does this without throwing an error or any other notification...
As a result, you can end up with a 'version not found' error, because you
really needed to get a new version of the configuration.
It doesn't make sense to throw an error in this case because we don't know
that a problem will ensue and we definitely don't want to fail because a
repository is offline, but we may want to dump a warning and set an
internal flag or something so that we can let the user know that the world
is not quite right ...
