It seems that there are permissions issue with the ppa that mixes badly with Sage behavior.

Because it's the ppa, I guess that "sudo sage -p THE_PACKAGE" is the good way. But the point is that this command should be run from a directory that belongs to the group root (this is something weird from Sage side). You could try (without guarantee)

   $ sudo su
   # mv THE_PACKAGE /root
   # cd /root
   # sage -p THE_PACKAGE
   # exit
   $

If it does not work, could you check wether the permissions for the repository /usr/lib/sagemath/ and its subrepositories are consistent?

Hello,

sage -p THE_PACKAGE

is the *good* way. But there is a permission problem related to your
Sage installation. How did you install Sage by yourself? You used the
ubuntu ppa?


I installed sagemath-upstream-binary-full from the ubuntu ppa.


A sided remark: if you are working within the repository /tmp/ with Sage
you will always get into troubles.


I don't think I am doing that.
