Changes (by pbruin):

 * dependencies:   => #13973
 * upstream:  N/A => Fixed upstream, in a later stable release.


Comment:

 The bug in item 4 is fixed upstream and after #13973 the code does
 correctly raise an error:
 {{{
 sage: sum(1/(m^4 + 2*m^3 + 3*m^2 + 2*m)^2, m, 0, infinity)
 #0: simp_gen_harmonic_number(exp__=1,x__=-1)
 #1:
 
ratfun_to_psi(ratfun=1/(m^8+4*m^7+10*m^6+16*m^5+17*m^4+12*m^3+4*m^2),var=m,lo=0,hi=inf)
 #2: simplify_sum(expr='sum(1/(m^4+2*m^3+3*m^2+2*m)^2,m,0,inf))
 ...
 RuntimeError: ECL says: Error executing code in Maxima: Zero to negative
 power computed.
 }}}
