       age.xml or .star files.

       Except in uninstall and list files mode, gst-package requires write access to the GNU Smalltalk image directory, and merges the XML package
       files on the command line with that file.

       The default target directory is /build/buildd-gnu-smalltalk_3.2.4-2-amd64-LVoFQd/gnu-smalltalk-3.2.4
