I got the following error while running the sage -t command.

$ sage -t test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/sagemath/bin/sage-runtests", line 178, in <module>
    DC = DocTestController(options, args)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sage/doctest/control.py", line 358, 
in __init__
    for pkg in list_packages('optional', local=True).values():
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sage/misc/package.py", line 236, in 
list_packages
    for p in os.listdir(SAGE_PKGS):
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 
'/usr/share/sagemath/build/pkgs'

I attached the following information about the version:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
Release:    20.04

Python 3.8.10

$ sage

How did you install Sage?

What are you trying to test?

I install Sage by Linux Package Manager : sudo apt install sagemath . It is the implementation of KYBER algorithm: https://github.com/fvirdia/lwe-on-rsa...

The Ubuntu package sagemathdoes not offer all the functionalities for advanced use of SageMath, like testing or installing additional packages. I would therefore suggest that you install SageMath in your home directory by downloading the binary image for Ubuntu 20.04 from https://www.sagemath.org/download-lin.... Simply do

sudo apt-get install python-is-python3
tar jxvf sage-9.4-Ubuntu_20.04-x86_64.tar.bz2
cd SageMath
./sage -n jupyter

Then ./sage -t should work from the directory SageMath. As a bonus, you'll get the latest version of Sage (9.4), while the Ubuntu package is only 9.0.
