Unfortunately, while other databases seem to be packaged for Arch Linux:

  • https://archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=pari+data
  • https://archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=sage+data

  • select a mirror from the download page
  • then navigate to "SPKG Sage Packages" > "database_stein_watkins"
  • then download "database_stein_watkins-20110713.tar.gz"

Another solution is to build Sage from source, following the instructions at

Then, using that Sage, sage -i will work.
