Are you sure? Keep in mind that, for parallel builds, other packages
which were being built are still continued. Imagine that you are
installing Maxima and R in parallel. When Maxima fails to build, the
build of R will continue. Only after R is done, the build process will
stop. This is not a bug.
2. But apparently "make start" is now still trying to install
the missing package
No, that's not true. The problem is that the error message display can
give false positives, that is also why there is "The following
package(s) may have failed to build" (note the "may").
Behind the scenes, the following happens: when the build fails, the log
files are grepped for an error message. That error is shown even if the
error happened long ago. And when you did "./sage -i cycache", cycache
failed to build because there is indeed no such package.
