Comment (by ncohen):

 Hello !

 > I insstalled the branch and did "make" which rebuilt a very large
 amount.

 This is suspicious. As you can see from the branch's diff, it only touches
 one file (i.e. sage/misc/package.py) which is not a dependency of anything
 as far as I know. I just did a checkout on the branch, and no
 recompilation was triggered at all.

 > which also failed.  SO I don't exactly know what it is that I am
 supposed to be testing!

 This function fixes the three functions `standard_packages`,
 `optional_packages`, and `experimental_packages` defined in
 `sage/misc/package.py`. The script `sage -standard` script does not call
 them.

 In order to fix `sage -standard`, it makes more sense to make it call a
 Sage function that does the job. Previously, `standard_packages` ran `sage
 -standard` and parsed its output: it would be better to have `sage
 -standard` call `standard_packages` (without any parsing).

 That would require changing the output or `standard_packages`, as
 currently it only returns the list of packages without including the
 version numbers.
