Everything appeared to be doing well, but retrieving data failed eventually, on grounds that some module was missing (apparently a known issue on some systems). Nothing worked, so I figured some core upgrading would be needed; I selected all installed plugins and core eclipse updates, and let the process run overnight. This morning, again the error message, only this time the PHP file view was corrupted.

I proceeded to just download Ganymede all over again and re-install everything from scratch, which, fortunately, went perfectly well. The last install dated back to last November (7 months ago).

I wish there were a more seamless way to upgrade; seems the dependency facility only goes so far in identifying what it needs to do a proper update when the local installation starts to get a little too “old”.
