 > Other distributions, e.g. archlinux, seem to have enough
 [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xcas/ pain] with giac already.
 > As long as this is a trap of this sort, I'm against Sage having anything
 to do with giac.

 I hope that this ticket in Sage helps to get the giac people to understand
 that changing sources isn't appreciated. If that gets fixed, I think this
 Sage package should be upgraded to 1.1.2 (instead of manually adding the
 patch).
