This is a VM built from source during packaging for NixOS Linux.

I *think* the difference is that you are downloading the VM as a binary and
I am downloading it as source code, and we get different versions because
pharo.org is regularly shipping updated binaries but not updating the
source code releases at the same time. So the source releases lag behind
over time and now it's at the point that they can't run the 5.0 image.
