Double-apologies then for all the rough edges; since I never expected the work
to be useful to anyone but me, I spent rather less time polishing it than is
usual for me.

Merged; thanks for the patch!

I only removed the sugar-* packages (via rpm -e --nodeps). I haven't done any
work to replace the others yet.

I took a quick look at this traceback and at my Makefile and I think that it
might be a simple "order of operations" bug in the Makefile. 

Does the attached patch fix the problem for you?
