Yes, such things may be difficult to change - that's totally
understandable! I think a significant part of the confusion is
that these teachpacks are listed under "Pre-installed" which seems
to mean that they are already there when DrRacket is installed,
and that there are two teachpacks with the same name. Perhaps
using wording other than "pre-installed" and renaming one of the
taechpacks (if possible; I know that sometimes there are
dependencies that make it very difficult) would help. <br>
<br>
I posted a detailed clarification for my students, and hopefully
they are all set. <br>
<br>
And I generally don't ask them to remove teachpacks either, but
once they've added the wrong one (and many of them added both),
it's easier at this point to just clear all and add it again than
to make sure that they remove the one they should. <br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>

this may've come up before, but I looked through the last
few messages and did a bit of searching, and couldn't find
anything about this problem. My apologies if this is already
a known issue.<br>
<br>
When DrRacket is installed, it comes with 3 pre-installed
teachpacks, including image.rkt. However, image functions
(rotate, square, etc) are undefined. Installing the
teachpack from the middle column in the "add teachpack" list
fixes the issue.<br>
<br>
However, if the user then tries to add the teachpack and
happens to click on it in the first column, they get an
error message "module: identifier already imported from a
different source". The solution that seems to work then is
to clear both teachpacks and then install the one in the
middle column.<br>
<br>
This behavior takes place for both Racket 5.3.4 and 5.3.6,
for Windows and Linux (Fedora 18). I don't know if it's
happening on a Mac as well.<br>
<br>
If there is a plan to fix it in the next release, could you
let me know? We might wait a couple of weeks to upgrade our
lab to 5.3.6 is we can get an upgrade with this issue fixed.<br>
<br>
Many thanks!<br>
