Visual Editor failed to install on server that had not deployed in a long time

Visual Editor failed to install on server that had not deployed in a long time. The following error occurred. Quick fix was to delete the /opt/htdocs/mediawiki/extensions/VisualEditor directory and then run deploy again. This regenerated the VisualEditor extension without issues.
