Some spkg depend on others, but that can't be seen in spkg/standard/deps : those are implicit, silent, hidden, invisible dependencies. They generally mean something will break at one point in the future. > First of all, it's not true that nothing depends on ECLIB: the Sage > library depends on ECLIB.

For $(INST)/$(ELLIPTIC_CURVES), shouldn't it be in the list of things $(INST)/$(SAGE) *build* depends on? After all, if it isn't supposed to run without it, can one consider the target successfully built?
