Strange … I moved everything (including mod-list.json and mod-settings.dat) out of the way, then restarted the game. In the mods manager, I installed this mod again, confirmed and restarted. mod-list.json now contains only base and VersepellesAquaFarm015, both are enabled. I go back to the mods manager, select this mod -- and get a crash again.
Now, the logfile contains references to files below /tmp/factorio-build-u8lWyt/ for the stacktrace. I listed the contents of /tmp before starting the game, while it was running, and after it crashed. However, I can't see such a folder. Perhaps it's just bad timing and I just didn't catch it while it was there -- or could that be related? I'll send you the latest logfile again on the forum…
