zef does not see already installed module

[melezhik]

Hi ! I hit some weird bug with already installed module (possibly under one version of rakudo) and inability zef to see it (after switching to another version of rakudo), here is use case:

[task run: task.bash - tasks/multi-versions]
[dump code: task.bash]
[1] set -e
[2] 
[3] echo "Linux version: $os"
[4] 
[5] curl -sL https://rakudo.org/dl/rakudo/rakudo-moar-$version-01-linux-x86_64-gcc.tar.gz \
[6] -o rakudo-moar-$version-01-linux-x86_64-gcc.tar.gz
[7] tar -xzf rakudo-moar-$version-01-linux-x86_64-gcc.tar.gz
[8] echo "activating rakudo version $version ..."
[9] eval "$(rakudo-moar-$version-01-linux-x86_64-gcc/scripts/set-env.sh)" > /dev/null 
[10] 
[11] which raku
[12] which zef
[13] 
[14] raku --version
[15] zef --version
[16] 
[17] zef update 
[18] 
[19] zef info File::Directory::Tree
[20] 
[21] raku -MFile::Directory::Tree -e "say 'OK'"
[22] 
[23] cd source/
[24] 
[25] zef install . --deps-only --test-depends --build-depends --/test
[26] zef build .
[27] 
[28] /usr/bin/time -o "${cache_root_dir}/${version}_time" \
[29] zef test . && touch "${cache_root_dir}/${version}_ok"
[30]

fwiw that error is generated by rakudo when precompiling inside of CompUnit::Repository::Installation.install(...) and is unrelated to zef specifically. Closing as a duplicate of https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/4699
