Sage Crash Report - Debian testing - amd64

[Sage user]

My terminal output is pasted below, bug report is attached.

I tried emailing sage-s...@googlegroups.com per the terminal output - didn't work (bounced). Sagemath homepage 'Report a bug' brought me here.

OS is Debian testing amd64. Sage installed from Debian testing repos. Crash occurs immediately on executing sage.

Thanks

Chris

Terminal output follows ...

~$ sage

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

Oops, Sage crashed. We do our best to make it stable, but...

A crash report was automatically generated with the following information:

  - A verbatim copy of the crash traceback.

  - A copy of your input history during this session.

  - Data on your current Sage configuration.

It was left in the file named:

'/home/c/.ipython/Sage_crash_report.txt'

If you can email this file to the developers, the information in it will help

them in understanding and correcting the problem.

You can mail it to: sage-support at sage-s...@googlegroups.com

with the subject 'Sage Crash Report'.

If you want to do it now, the following command will work (under Unix):

mail -s 'Sage Crash Report' sage-s...@googlegroups.com < /home/c/.ipython/Sage_crash_report.txt

In your email, please also include information about:

- The operating system under which the crash happened: Linux, macOS, Windows,

  other, and which exact version (for example: Ubuntu 16.04.3, macOS 10.13.2,

  Windows 10 Pro), and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit;

- How Sage was installed: using pip or conda, from GitHub, as part of

  a Docker container, or other, providing more detail if possible;

- How to reproduce the crash: what exact sequence of instructions can one

  input to get the same crash? Ideally, find a minimal yet complete sequence

  of instructions that yields the crash.

To ensure accurate tracking of this issue, please file a report about it at:

This is a Debian-specific problem, I think they're working on updating
Sage to a more recent version (the current stable version is 8.9). I
cc to the specific list.

We already have sage 8.9 with Python 3 in Debian unstable. It is not migrating to testing due to various crashes on i386, mipls64el and ppc64el but on amd64 it should work fine.

Best,
Tobias

Thank you both, I'll follow the Debian list. For the time being it looks like it will be easier to install the Sagemath binary (directly from Sagemath) rather than running a mixed testing/unstable.

Cheers

Chris

For what it's worth, if you don't mind installing a secondary package manager (https://nixos.org/nix/download.html) you can also use the nix package on debian. Using the unstable channel (rolling release) you can already use sagemath 8.9. You can use pre-build binaries or build from source.

I maintain the package, so I'm biased towards it of course.
