There are two very minor issues with the spkg/standard/deps file. Both are "cosmetic", in the sense they don't change the build order of any packages, but both will add a bit of clarity to the file.

1) R depends on Fortran, though that is not very clear.

Fortran is a dependency of lapack, lapack is a dependency of atlas, and atlas is a dependency of R. So fortran should always get installed before R. It's a bit convoluted though.

2) SAGETEX does not show a dependency on BASE, whereas every other package does. Again its implied by a chain, and somewhat less convoluted than the R/Fortran issue.

I'm not going to create new versions of deps, when there are tons more floating around just now. I think it will just make things even more complex. But if anyone is updating deps, those two are zero-risk changes and just add a bit of clarity. Just make a note on the ticket at #9637
