Please fix the Package file of SAGE for utopic

 

Dear AIMS members

Thank you for serving the binaries of SAGE for ubuntu.
But, I found a problem about the Package

I am using ubuntu 14.10 (utopic)


According to your page, I processed the following operations:

apt-add-repository -y ppa:aims/sagemath
apt-get update
apt-get install sagemath-upstream-binary

Then, I seemed to install it correctly.
But, the following happened:

sage> gap.eval('LoadPackage("grape")')
false

Finally, I found a cause with respect to this problem:
While the Package file for Ubuntu 14.04,
http://ppa.launchpad.net/aims/sagemath/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages,
contains the information about 
both
sagemath-upstream-binary_6.5_amd64.deb
and
sagemath-optional_6.1_amd64.deb,
the Package file for Ubuntu 14.10,
http://ppa.launchpad.net/aims/sagemath/ubuntu/dists/utopic/main/binary-amd64/Packages,
contains only the information about
sagemath-upstream-binary_6.4.1_amd64.deb
without sagemath-optional.

I tried to download sagemath-optional_6.1_amd64.deb and installed it by
applying the command, dpkg -i.
Then, Sage comes to work correctly.

Therefore, please fix only the file,
http://ppa.launchpad.net/aims/sagemath/ubuntu/dists/utopic/main/binary-amd64/Packages,
and this problem will be solved easily.

Best regards,
Naoshi Sakamoto
