Calling the example
from sage.rings.factorint import factor_cunningham
factor_cunningham(2^257-1)
from the docs yields the message that the Cunningham tables should be installed  via ``sage -i cunningham_tables``. Trying this, however, yields a `not found' message, and suggests to try the option `-p' instead of '-i'. This, in turn results in an error message.

Locally compiled versions of Sage on two up-to-date Manjaro Linux machines, and the binary distribution on a Debian 9 machine. In all three cases Sage version 9.0.

researching on the status of cunningham_tables spkg, one finds
it was slated to become standard, but them someone pointed out
that Brent's tables are better, and it leads to
https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/12133
which is in "needs work" state, and links pointing to
files on a dead server.
