# V8005 dependencies_not_supported

> Packages are not supported yet: sakura.toml declares [dependencies] (design §17.232, RFC 0001).

An error from the `package` phase. `sakura explain V8005` prints this explanation offline.

Packages are not supported yet: `sakura.toml` declares `[dependencies]` (design §17.232, RFC
0001). This release compiles one package over std; packages arrive in a later minor release, and
the key is reserved until then. Any form is refused before anything runs: an empty table, entries,
an inline `dependencies = {}` or a dotted key. Nothing is fetched and `sakura.lock` is untouched.
Remove the table and use std; do not vendor another package's sources into `src/` to stand in for it.

Wrong:

```toml
[package]
name = "billing"
[dependencies]
```

Fixed:

```toml
[package]
name = "billing"
```

## Wrong program [#wrong-program]

[`compiler/tests/ui/V8005_dependencies_table/`](https://github.com/icantcodefyi/sakuralang/blob/main/compiler/tests/ui/V8005_dependencies_table/), which the compiler's ui suite runs through `sakura check`:

`main.sak`:

```sakura
// Packages arrive in a later minor (design §17.232): a `[dependencies]` table is refused even empty.
pub fn main() -> Unit ! {Console} { Console.print("hi") }
```

`sakura.toml`:

```toml
[package]
name = "billing"

[dependencies]
```

`sakura check --json` reports this record (pretty-printed; `$DIR` is the fixture's directory):
