why unable to call giac as integrate method in version 9.4?

I just installed sagemath binary, latest stable version 9.4 on my Linux VBox. I normally install sagemath using the Linux Manjaro package manager, but it only see 9.3 now. That is why I downloaded the binary from https://www.sagemath.org/download-lin... (downloaded the 64 bit version).

Uninstalled 9.3 from my box.

Now I started to use sage 9.4 binary, and set the path, and started it. Everything looks OK. I am able to use fricas and maxima integrate, but can no longer use giac. Even though all of these are installed on same Linux I am using, and I was able to use giac from 9.3. But not from 9.4. Here is a MWE

I noticed the binary sagemath is using its own version of giac, in /home/me/SageMath/local/bin/giac and not the one I have already installed in my Linux which is in /bin/giac and these are different versions. The one in /bin/giac is 1.7 and the one shipped with sagemath binary is older, 1.6.

How to tell sagemath to use my own version of giac on /bin/giac and not the one that comes with sagemath binary? May be this will fix this problem:

>which giac
/bin/giac
>giac --version
// Using locale /usr/share/locale/
// en_US.utf8
// /usr/share/locale/
// giac
// UTF-8
// Maximum number of parallel threads 2
// (c) 2001, 2021 B. Parisse & others
1.7.0

confirmed: giac doesn't work

UNconfirmed : works in sagecell...

EDIT : More UNconfirmatuion : on Debian testing :

sage: sage.version.version
'9.5.beta1'
sage: giac.version()
"giac 1.6.0, (c) B. Parisse and R. De Graeve, Institut Fourier, Universite de Grenoble I"
sage: integrate(x,x)
1/2*x^2
sage: integrate(x,x, algorithm="giac")
1/2*x^2

You might report this as an Ubuntu-specific problem (probably to the Ubuntu maintainers...).

OK, found a workaround.

The giac that comes with sagemath 9.4 binary is old. version 1.6. I changed the symbolic link in /home/me/SageMath/local/bin/giac to point to the newer version I had in /bin/giac and now the error went away:

>pwd
/home/me/SageMath/local/bin

>ls -l giac
lrwxrwxrwx 1 me me 6 Aug 22 08:00 giac -> ./icas

>ln -sfn /bin/giac giac

>ls -lrt giac
lrwxrwxrwx 1 me me 9 Sep 15 16:36 giac -> /bin/giac
>

And now from sagemath, it works. No error

sage: integrate(x,x, algorithm="giac")                                                                                                                      
1/2*x^2

Strange that sagemath binary 9.4 ships with older giac and one that for some reason does not work.

This works for me and in sagemathcell, so is a problem with your specific installs.
