This is the first problem I see. Your command has been backgrounded. I am not sure how you could have backgrounded your command since I don't see any & sign above. > ~/sage-dev/devel/sage-main Starx$ Downloading packages from > ' > http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/release/sage-5.0.beta9/sage-5.0.beta9//spkg<http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/release/sage-5.0.beta9/sage-5.0.beta9//spkg> > '. > Reading package lists...

Once your command is backgrounded, it will stop taking input from stdin. This is why you get the "command not found" message. Although it appears to you that you have provided 'y' as the answer to the question, 'y' is actually being entered at the bash prompt and never reaches the script. > [1]+ Stopped ../../sage -upgrade > The script doesn't receive the input and simply stops proceeding further.
