Hi there, Disclaimer: I'm not a debian user and my intend is not to launch a flame nor to disregard the hard work that has been done to have a sage debian package.
However, during sage days 20 as well as during my course at the university of Rouen, I've got at least a dozen reports of people trying to install sage with the standard "dpkg -i". Everything, looks fine except that this sage seems to be broken. Maxima simply does not start (just try x+1). I'm quite concerned that debian is a quite wide spread distro, and that for all these guys the image of sage is something huge that simply doesn't work. I was very angry when I heard this very argument from a colleague and two students. If confirmed, couldn't we make an official request to debian that this package is removed from their repositories. This non working sage is a very bad publicity...
