Running sage in my terminal gives the following output

Rewriting paths for your new installation directory
===================================================

This might take a few minutes but only has to be done once.

Wow, that is new to me. Can you give us more details about your platform and your binary (I assume you downloaded a binary or these errors might not appear)?

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and installed sage with the Ubuntu PPA with the commands found here: http://www.sagemath.org/download-linu...

Hi

This error message is specific to the PPA. At the moment we have not traced further errors caused by this and have held off on reverting to 6.9.

The relocate-once.py introduced recently is not compatible with how we have been using debian package building, but we are investigating fixes for this.

Please post any other error which might be a result of this message.

Regards, Jan

Hi

Please update to sagemath-upstream-binary-full 7.0 to fix this.

The smaller version, sagemath-upstream-binary, will be fixed at the latest by 7.1, but maybe sooner.

Regards, Jan
