But in the subsequent run, WPKG ended up with a raw quote somehow (possibly reading it from the package definition?). It was that raw quote that broke the x-path query  and proved to be really hard to identify as a problem. I was expecting a more user friendly, "file not found" or "can't get file version" or "learn to type properly" etc  :-)

I have always found an XML validator to be of reasonable help, when writing XML files manually.

Notepad++ has a working add on, so you might want to switch to a XML editor with validation.
