Comment:

 To fix the corresponding permissions, I would have to modify over 20
 spkgs.  Each of these changes would need review -- the release manager
 can't just make those changes.  Furthermore, most of those have no effect
 on Sage's functioning, since most of the files go away after the
 corresponding spkgs are installed.  If I look at permissions after I've
 built Sage, I see

 and a lot of files related to the moin package.  The python library is
 clearly not a problem, since the only permission issue is that it's not
 writeable.  Do the gap files really cause Sage to not work in a multi-user
 environment?

 I would assert that comment 6 at #1240 should be ignored, because as you
 say above, your colleague didn't install Sage properly in the first place.
 Please provide other evidence that Sage doesn't function without this
 ticket being fixed, and then upgrade this to a blocker again.
