I am also facing the same problem while updating Sage from the Ubuntu PPA. Running sudo dpkg-reconfigure sagemath-upstream-binary produced the following output for me.
Removing previous path, rm -rf /usr/lib/sage (new path /usr/lib/sagemath) Running Sage once as root to set paths ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sage Version 5.4, Release Date: 2012-11-09 | | Type "notebook()" for the browser-based notebook interface. | | Type "help()" for help. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sage: Exiting Sage (CPU time 0m0.07s, Wall time 0m0.07s). When I try to run Sage on the terminal, I get a name error: sage_prompt is not defined. It also guesses that I might want to run %upgrade and I do this each time but to no avail. (Error message: Error importing ipy_profile_sage - perhaps you should run %upgrade? WARNING: Loading of ipy_profile_sage failed.)
