Comment:
Unfortunately, this doesn't work. Probably the .sig files depend on the
version of Magma. I tried applying your patch and got then using it as a
different user and got:
{{{
Runtime error in 'AttachSpec': Could not remove the invalid signature file
/Users/wstein/sage/data/extcode//magma/latex/latex.sig
}}}
Since there are dozens of Magma versions out there, and we can't know
which one people are using, there is literally *no possible way* to solve
this problem without the user running a command such as
{{{
sage: magma('2')
}}}
as a user with write permissions to the extcode/magma directory.
Since the error message clearly states that this is a permissions problem,
there is nothing further to do really (i.e., nothing on the sage side).
This is just the way Magma works.
