No, but what confused me was when I executed optional_packages on the public Sage server it gave a permission error on a slightly different directory along with extra information in the error message: ---- Using SAGE Server http://www.sagemath.org//packages http://www.sagemath.org//packages/optional/list --> /usr/local/sage/tmp/list [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/sage/tmp/list' ************************************************************************\ ******** Error contacting http://www.sagemath.org//packages/optional/list. Try using an alternative server. For example, from the bash prompt try typing export SAGE_SERVER=http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ then try again. ************************************************************************\ ******** Optional package list (shown above) appears to be currently not available or corrupted (network error?).
