[LON-CAPA-admin] up2date and maxima dependancy error

[D G Teed]

Thanks, I was thinking along the same, but I wanted to be
sure this was the prescribed way to go about it.

After all, this is like a specialized Redhat for one application,
so I was a little surprised to not find any mention of the issue
being encountered in mailing list archives.

This has resolved the updates issue.
