Algorithmic bug is a trifle harsh. The package was initially
designed to be a static dependency checker and package orderer. These
are oversights in my attempt to mould it to be fit for interactive
package installation.
Chalk this up to experience in adding the interactivity.
Incidentally, the intrinsic method is essentially a depth
first traversal.
BTW, I am mothballing my computer for my move tomorrow, so
there is likely to be a hiatus in my net access.
