After 1.8.0.1/2, getting client side error: Module 'angular-meteor' is not available!

I’m currently running a v1.8 meteor-angualr app (angularjs 1.7.6) and everything works fine.
After updating to v1.8.0.2 (or v1.8.0.1), server runs fine, but client shows this error in devtools, and the app does not load:

Uncaught Error: [$injector:nomod] Module 'angular-meteor' is not available! 
You either misspelled the module name or forgot to load it. 
If registering a module ensure that you specify the dependencies as the second argument.

Any idea what’s the issue? what can I check?
Cheers
