Both. It should have used the newer packages, but I can't say I'm surprised that something went wrong. The reason I `git clean -x -f -d` before every build is because I used to hit these strange issues too often. FWIW we're about to get GAP in Gentoo: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/34472 And then the only system packages that are missing are PALP and a few databases. Everything else can be detected and used by Sage, and that should speed up a clean build by a lot. I would still recommend the "develop" branch to keep up with the latest changes until Sage itself finds its way into Gentoo. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
