If you did "make clean" before, which did rm -rf packages/*/dist, it would cause
alex to need happy.

Normally, alex comes with pre-charged files in its dist directory, not needing
happy.

Similarly, happy comes with pre-charged files in its dist directory, too. If you
did "make clean" before, it would cause happy to need happy. Re-ordering
platform.packages does not solve the real problem.

(It was not easy to find out.)
