that file "sage-flags.txt" came in due to a recent patch I was the reviewer for. The intention is to store on Linux systems, with which processor flags a binary distribution was originally compiled, in order to catch certain hard-to-debug failures. Obviously, there is some reason for the existence of a trac ticket saying "rename 'sage -upgrade' to 'sage -expert-upgrade' ", because in between releases certain things might break. (We did test "fresh" installations ...) Now if you don't have a Linux system (but say e.g. a Mac), just create an empty "sage-flags.txt" file there and everything will be fine. If that does not work for you, the probably easiest thing (taking only some time) for you is to download a Sage 3.2 source tarball, install that one somewhere temporarily, and copy at least the then created file "%TMP_SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/sage-flags.txt" over. Of course it would be best to know why on earth the "sage-location" script suddenly does not seem to have the rights to create a new file in your "/usr/local/sage/local/" directory ... but I have no clue.
