I have received the same problem, but I have the impression that it
stopped after having launched Sage in sudo mode once and executing a
small program (nothing special, just some stupid computation). Maybe
Sage tries to write this information in a place that needs sudo?
Otherwise, my sage folder is just inside of /Applications folder (this
could explain why we need sudo, if sage tries to write in a subfolder
of this tree).
