Necessary, yes.  Sufficient?  No.

On the other hand...

This was precisely the problem here.  I'll try to say this as
politely as I can...  Wow.  That's some blind-siding sh*t.

So, let's talk about that a bit.

First, thank you for identifying the issue!  This does indeed
fix the build locally, and bring us back to online par. Thank you!

Second, the notion of requiring repeated running of the make
install-dep target as part of our daily build process from our
CI engine is just not going to happen.  NFW.  We're not running
anything has root like that.  It's a bad idea for many reasons.

On the flip side, I can make a job that "notices" a change in the
installed packaged requirement and run that as, say, a daily job
and incidentally notice that updates are needed.  Sure, polling
like that sucks; an interrupt here with a simple "Heads up!  The
install-deps have changed" would have been awesome!

Thanks,
jdl
