Dear KnS, We are already busy testing a fix for this.
In the meantime, I don't see that your problem is directly related. In fact it is possibly something different altogether. If your system is broken due to this error, then you will see the following output: $ dpkg -l |grep sagemath-upstream-binary iF sagemath-upstream-binary 5.4 Sage is a free open-source mathematics software system If you don't see above, I think your error is unrelated. Can you try move .sage aside to .sage.backup and see whether you still get that error?
