I've been testing with my screensaver, Pastels, but I just tried with
SillyBalls and it also failed to load.

macholib 1.1
modulegraph 0.7
altgraph 0.6.7
bdist_mpkg 0.4.2
Any others?

This may mean that an unexpected error has occurred, or that you do
not have all of the dependencies for this bundle.

I've been deleting old versions from ~/Library/Screen Savers/ (which
is where I've been installing them), which seems to get my updates
picked up OK.

Thanks for the help!

"The real trouble with this world of ours is not that it is an
unreasonable world, nor even that it is a reasonable one. The
commonest kind of trouble is that it is nearly reasonable, but not
quite. Life is not an illogicality; yet it is a trap for logicians.
It looks just a little more mathematical and regular than it is; its
exactitude is obvious, but its inexactitude is hidden; its wildness
lies in wait." --G.K. Chesterton
