I hope that's the right place to post the bug.
When solving this linear second order ODE boundary value problem:
> x^2*diff(y,x,2)-x*diff(y,x,1)+y == 0
> y(1)=1
> y(e)=2*e
Sage says Maxima can't solve it but when calling Maxima through Sage's
interface I get the right solution.
Steps to reproduce it
1. Try to solve the BVP in Sage:
y(x) = function('y')(x); y
> eq = x^2*diff(y,x,2)-x*diff(y,x,1)+y==0; eq
> h = desolve(eq, dvar=y, ivar=x,ics=[1,1,e,2*e]); h
Output:
Error in lines 3-3

NotImplementedError: *Maxima was unable to solve this BVP. Remove the

2. Use Maxima's interface to solve the problem
maxima('depends(y,x)')
> maxima('eq: x^2*diff(y,x,2)-x*diff(y,x,1)+y=0')
> maxima('sol: ode2(eq, y,x)')
> maxima('exactSol: bc2(sol,x=1,y=1,x=%e,y=2*%e)')
Output:
...
y=x*(log(x)+1)
Tested using SageMathCloud on the 30/10/2016 so I guess Sage version 7.3
