Hello,

Another vote here for getting an old and/or broken version *out* of
Debian unstable/experimental.  Seems kind of ridiculous to have a
version that old in what is commonly viewed as the 'cutting edge'
branch.

Just tossing out ideas here... if its too much of a PITA to keep sage
meshed with the politics and policies of Debian, which in turn affects
Ubuntu... would it be possible or feasible to distribute sage for
linux as a virtual box image, similar to what is done for Windows, so
it can run independently of the system libraries and such?  Granted it
is even more of a pig of a download, but it might side-step some other
issues in the mean time... and people wanting a more light-weight
version can still compile and install locally.

Just a thought...

Monte
