The second machine I tried (which I will not have access to until I go home) had only just been upgraded to ubuntu 12.04, so it is surprising that it's using an old texlive version. I'll check. On the machine I first tried, and reported on earlier today, it's running Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS (server) and all the texlive packages listed are dated 2009-*. Now I have (following your instructions very carefully ;)) jec%ls -l /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/sagetex total 20 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5807 Jun 21 2009 old-crappy-sagetex.sty -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10487 Jun 12 14:44 sage-5.0-sagetex.sty lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Jun 12 14:44 sagetex.sty -> sage-5.0-sagetex.sty and all is well!
