I think that there may be problems with adding a package that had |
| 16 |
dependencies that you don't already have installed. |

Adding a package, as you did, that has all dependencies already satisfied on |
| 19 |
your system probably would work. |

But I'd still be worried that adding a package that does not have |
| 22 |
dependencies satisfied to the world file would not be a good thing (unless |
| 23 |
of course you are using the emptytree option). |
