[racket] a problem with image.rkt teachpack

Unfortunately, this is the way things work. Those are actually two
different teachpacks and the error message that you are getting is a poorly
worded "these two teachpacks conflict with each other".

Is there perhaps some other behavior you'd prefer?

And, I should also point that even if we do find some fix, there is little
chance that our release schedule can be adjusted to respond to your lab
installation schedule, I'm sorry to say.
