Hi Graham,
Note that this also moves all your past worksheets aside, which may not be
what you want.
I think that during the configuration of the PPA DEB package, the root user
of your system
takes owner ship of /home/yourlogin/.sage/tmp/somefiles... and you only
need to get rid of
those (as root) to be able to use all your own old worksheets, which are in
.sage/sage_notebook/worksheets/
Regards,
Jan
