!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PACKER CRASH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Packer crashed! This is always indicative of a bug within Packer.
A crash log has been placed at "crash.log" relative to your current
working directory. It would be immensely helpful if you could please
report the crash with Packer[1] so that we can fix this.
