sagemath package not found for install

[mario]

Hi,

I'm trying to install SAGE on my Debian Lenny using the Debian Sage
Wiki instructions.
I have sage on source.list.d, issued apt-get update (also aptitude
update) but no sagemath package was found.
What I'm missing? Is there other repository that I could use to
get .deb for sagemath?

Thanks

I can confirm that the repo is not working correctly, but I do not
know why. You can get the sagemath .deb from

http://stuff.mit.edu/~sage/apt/pool/main/s/sagemath/

but I think there are also several dependencies in Tim's repo that are
not in Debian yet. So, when dpkg complains about missing dependencies,
you would have to fish through the repo manually to get them. It is
probably best to wait for Tim or if you need to do some math right
now, install the monolithic Debian binary from

http://sagemath.org/download.html

Hi,

the reason for the problem is that there´s no valid Packages file;
all the files are empty.

I´ll try your suggestion and fish all deps into the repo.

thanks for the help

I'm sorry that the repository does not work as advertised at the moment.

Part of the problem is that most of those packages are now in Debian
upstream.

The larger problem is that I have a new version of the Sage package
itself, but it's unusable at the moment because of a couple of serious
bugs involving polybori and linbox. Once those are settled, I think
things will be in good shape (of course, I've been having some difficulty
debugging them).
