crash after system upgrade
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04. After automatic system update the sagemath-upstream-binary vanishes and does not possible to install from ppa. (v 6.1.1)
installArchives() failed: Setting up sagemath-upstream-binary (6.1.1ubuntu1) ...

So, it is not true
It is a regular error in marriage of Ubuntu and Sage. It is very unpleasant, because Ubuntu and its forks are the far common linux distros. I'm very upset, because this problem causes in addition a failure in source repository.
I think the PPA provider may be on vacation? Can you try an older PPA? (There should be one for 5.13 or 5.12.)
