Well, perhaps Ubuntu has special mojo that would make that work, but on any 
Unix-like system I am aware of, what I saw in your attached snap of the command 
and output means to me that the command was expecting the file to be in the 
current directory.  Nothing shows me that the command would know where in the 
world to look for the tarball other than locally.

If it did work and now doesn’t, it’s beyond my experience.

In your following message, you say “Unable to sagemath download pre-built 
binary from site”.  Is that literal output from tar?  It’s pretty weird 
phrasing, in the first place.  And additionally, how does “it” know what the 
site is, and that the tarball contains a pre-built binary?

Sorry I can’t be of more help.
