Hi, I installed the sage-6.2.rc0 [1] that Volker posted a few days ago. However, the in-Sage commands install_package, optional_packages, etc., are now broken. Any ideas what is going on?
More precisely: sage: v = optional_packages() ... Type 'sage -i package_name' to download and install a package. Optional package list (shown above) appears to be currently not available or corrupted (network error?). sage: v ([], []) PROBLEMS: 1. Note that v is wrong -- it should have the installed/uninstalled packages. This is probably because of the "network error?" error. 2. Why does a command *inside of Sage, run from the Sage prompt* tell the user to "Type 'sage -i package_name' to download and install a package."? Instead, it should suggest using the install_package(...) command in Sage. 3. As mentioned above, the install_package command is also broken now. NOTE: Using "sage -i" from the command line does still work, so that's what I'll do.
