Recent installation of Linux binaries on Ubuntu now takes much longer than a few versions ago. Binary unpacks, no problem. After linking to the new version in /usr/local/bin, the first run of sage initiates a large amount of time consuming checking and updating, used to be a minute or 2, now at least 30. All OK, after a suitable wait.
Installation of an additional package (in my case, database_gap) using "sage -i database_gap", initiates another automated collection of (>500) steps, which eventually results in a successfully install. Similar wait. Again successful. I can install a similar gap database by unpacking an older version, e.g. database_gap-4.7.7.tar.bz2 and copying the bits into the right place in the GAP directory. Very much quicker (and seems to work). Is this longer installation time to be expected in the future? Am I doing something wrong?
