Hi
Original problem: a PPA sage has a sage installation with system-wide files
owned by root.
Such a user running octave('1+1') get permission denied:
/usr/lib/sagemath/local/share/
sage/ext/octave/user instead of running octave code (it does not clearly
say those don't exist, it just says permission denied).
Regards,
Jan
