Hi TL;DR install sagemath-upstream-binary-full for a fix. The error in 6.9 is harmless as only one unimportant file is missing.
The development PPA now has a working sagemath-upstream-binary-full 7.0 with no error at all. https://launchpad.net/~aims/+archive/ubuntu/sagemath-dev When it runs the relocate-once.py after install, it takes (quite) a while to patch and then prints message: ... patching /usr/lib/sagemath/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sage/ext/pselect.so patching /usr/lib/sagemath/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.20 * AIMS PPA: relocate-once.py finished running.

This is because I added one missing file to sagemath-binary-upstream ($SAGE_ROOT/builId/make/Makefile). This version will be uploaded to the stable PPA in a week or two depending on feedback. The smaller bandwidth-saving and disk-saving sagemath-upstream-binary 7.0 (no -full in the name) is also there (basically excluding most of the $SAGE_ROOT/src folder), but will still give the error: OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib/sagemath/src/build/cythonized/sage/structure/list_clone.c' After that the debian/postinst will then try to run sage once, then stop, as not nearly enough paths were patched. Even removing relocate-once.py is not enough: ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ SageMath Version 7.0, Release Date: 2016-01-19 │ │ Type "notebook()" for the browser-based notebook interface. │ │ Type "help()" for help. │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ERROR: The Sage installation tree has moved from /mnt/highperf/buildbot/slave/binary_pkg/build/source/SageMath/jc4b6yulaujayb9sr94ia88eourzeqip0oidma to /usr/lib/sagemath This is not supported, and Sage will not work.

It is possible to install the 7.0 now from the dev PPA and then to disable it: sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:aims/sagemath-dev sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sagemath-upstream-binary-full sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/aims-sagemath-dev-trusty.list{,.disabled} Notes: The plan is (probably) for 7.1 is to move the relocate-once.py out of the first run of sage during debian/postinst, and to do it in our autobuild.sh before it runs dpkg-buildpackage to prepare the source package for upload to the PPA. This way we can keep both the larger and smaller versions. If you are going to do the unwise and unsupported thing of compiling optional packages as root on dpkg-owned directory, you will need the -full package. We plan to change the user owning the files so that even if we break debsums we don't have to compile as root to customize a PPA install. I have no idea where to start, but perhaps there should be a ticket to make sage relocatable? Patching paths in binaries after compilation blows my mind.
