Three cheers for doing it in the ugliest possible way -- rather than not
doing it at all! Sage should definitely be available via a PPA.
I tried this in a Lucid virtual machine, and your dependencies may need
slight tweaking: it refuses to install because of a dpkg dependency:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
sagemath-upstream-binary: PreDepends: dpkg (>= 1.15.6~) but
1.15.5.6ubuntu4.5 is to be installed
Would 1.15.5 work? Or, do you want to focus on the newer releases, since
Precise (a newer LTS) will be out soon?
Keep up the good work!
