FYI I tried a meteor reset, also tried fully removing my Meteor installation and re-installing all packages.

[hexsprite]

I was able to get it to start by cloning into my packages/ directory. Not sure what's up with the published package.

https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/9700

fixed with: meteor add meteor@=1.8.4

meteor package was at 1.8.6 previously

[hexsprite]

still having the same problem actually. It seems like a hot-reload will allow one to proceed when this error comes up. I added some debugging statements and it seems like Package is {} at the time of execution...

I'll take a look this week

I'm not able to replicate this issue. Could you please create a reproduction?

[hexsprite]

Sure...

Ok, looks like this is related to a general bug in older versions of Meteor. See https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/9695#issuecomment-370192987

If you update to a more recent version of Meteor 1.6 (by running meteor update --patch), I was able to get your reproduction running fine.

Thanks for looking into it. Unfortunately I can't update beyond 1.6.0.x at this time due to some of the major changes in 1.6.1. Guess I'll just survive without this profile package at this time and depend on the v8 dependencies directly.

[veered]

Out of curiosity, what changes are preventing you from upgrading?

[hexsprite]

it's a good question. a lot of it is related to dependencies that were using the old version of coffeescript and haven't yet made the upgrade yet. and some had to do with some incompatibilities of packages with newer versions of mitar's packages. I think it's solvable when I have some more time... ;)
