Well,per your request, I logged in to the Sage VM and did sage -f fricas-0.3.1 simply hangs. However, sage -f axiom4sage-0.3.1 succeeds and shows a total time of real 18m42 or, if I include network time real 19.6 which is about the wall-clock time.
So there appears to be a suggestion that it might be a good idea to do package installs directly rather than thru the notebook interface. Potentially this could be due to the large amount of screen output. Apparently the package rename didn't work.
