I started examining what breaks if we change the condition A.parent

A._parent is not B._parent.
There are a bunch of broken things. The following examples are all on

Hello to every body, I was trying to package sage for debian but first I
must ask if any one into the community is doing it?
Yes, this been a topic of discussion recently. Here's an email from

I think it would be helpful if the README file contained
more details on the exact setup required to get this to work.
I tried burning the iso to a CD and rebooting. my suse 10.1 PC
but could not see how to get sage
Thank you Bill.
I will also wonder if anybody burned the Live CD (not in the
virtual machine) and if it worked properly
I untarred the tar.gz file and burned just the iso image to a
CD. I booted the CD on a 2nd workstation attached to the same
local network as my desktop workstation.

BTW something I don't like about O() is that e.g. O(5^100) has to
compute 5^100, and then work out that it's a power of 5! And worse,
it does it by actually calling factor()! If you know something is a
power of p (or that it *should* be a power of p), there are faster

Understood.
Just to make sure the above was accurate, I computed the factors of
p^100 for random primes p below 16. It was only 10% slower, i.e. it
could compute

Naturally! We aren't playing little league. :-)
Actually, I have just had a thorough look at NTL, and I see numerous
possible problems.
