10.8 is broken for me.

[Topaze]

Hello.

I get this error message after launching “sage” (without any options), see below.
I am using Debian Trixie (the current stable, so). Debian released an intermediate update a few days ago, so I updated (without any problems).
Before that, I had no problems using it, so it seems related to that change.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

an OS update might require you to rebuild (parts of) Sage, this is normal.
E.g. if the update upgraded a dynamic library used by Sage, the
rebuild is needed.
