Hi Yes, I am getting some queries directly to me as well (as PPA maintainer). The SAGE_ROOT/relocate-once.py is becoming less compatible with dpkg-buildpackage, which wants to manage the files, and not have them changed after installation.
We're thinking of a new simpler package, which contains the tarball, and has a script to untar it. We're still discussing the various options around this. Our criteria are: 1) prompts for updates in the distro package management system (gets our alumni body to actually update) 2) ease of install. In fact we pre-install it for most of our users via a Ubuntu derivative 3) save bandwidth and disk space (we'll have to drop the smaller version now and include the whole tarball with the SAGE_ROOT/src folder) 4) have a local to each laptop version (not a cloud server or campus server) for situations with both bandwidth and electricity interruptions So far this error does not inspire confidence, but this PPA 6.10 is deployed on our campus where people are using sage in teaching and I have not had to revert to 6.9.
