Hello Juergen Well, one of the lines in the log was also about a missing function in a file related to testing itself. So, even the test-system itself is somehow screwed up. Don't get me wrong, the ebuild system is certainly nice, but your version of Sage has some broken features or is somehow incomplete. Reporting that to the ones who actually created it is probably the best way. You could ask them to run all those tests you ran before releasing Sage on Gentoo! That would ensure some level of quality as we do with our releases. It's not perfect, but the best way we came up with so far. Also, they could start modifying those tests by including "nodoctest" markers to explicitly skip some of the tests. The patch for that would signal that they know that some parts are broken … And of course, if there are some parts in Sage that could be changes so that they work for our build and on Gentoo's, please report them upstream at trac.sagemath.org ... most likely, its a reasonable generalization or even a hidden bug.
