 It used to install without forcing. The old behavior seems more natural to
 me, so I'm suggesting my patch instead. Positive review for the Sage
 library patch.

 > How about simply not using standard_packages() at all and simply calling
 sage -i cvxopt? Then sage-spkg will figure out which version to install
 (it would install spkg/standard/cvxopt-NNN.spkg)

 Sounds fine to me, although let's do this on another ticket.
