[Cuis-dev] Something strange going on with package dependency version numbers

[Phil B]

I *think* 3900 is the culprit.  I remember getting one version error
upgrading from 3901 to 3904 and thinking 'strange, I must have forgotten to
save some trivial package change'.  After making more substantial changes
now I'm getting over a dozen version errors going from 3904 to 3911.
