In the SAGE_ROOT directory type
rm spkg/standard/matplotlib-0.90.0.p1.spkg
and the problem should go away.

The install log is the "cryptically" named file
SAGE_ROOT/install.log
in the root of your SAGE install. But what you pasted
below is more useful (since the install.log is so big).
The problem was partly because I had deleted that version
of matplotlib from the package archive (I've reposted it.)

Definitely!! Just make a list of changes that you think should be made
to the documentation, and email it to sage-devel. Then you can become
an official SAGE developer. We're hiring. :-)

Yep. The location of obvious isn't obvious to me, so please
feel free to suggest something.
