It certainly looks like that spkg is broken. In fact, this was reported as a bug almost a year ago, but no one has fixed it. See <http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9333>. I'll try to post a link to a new spkg soon. Meanwhile, to fix it yourself: find the file "kash3-2008-07-31.spkg", and from the terminal, run $ tar jxf kash3-2008-07-31.spkg This will create a directory "kash3-2008-07-31". In that directory, edit the file spkg-install. There is a line that says something like bunzip2 -c src/$PKG.tar.bz2 | tar fixmv - and it should really say bunzip2 -c src/$PKG.tar.bz2 | tar jxf - (Just the end is different, the characters after "tar".) Save the file, cd to the parent directory (the directory containing "kash3-2008-07-31" as a subdirectory), and execute $ sage -spkg kash3-2008-07-31 This will create a new file "kash3-....spkg", and then if you $ sage -k kash3-2008-07-31.spkg it should install.
