It would in any case be better to trap {{{SIGINT}}} /
{{{KeyboardInterrupt}}} while doing {{{sage-location}}}, or make backup
copies first.
Also, it would be helpful for such situations to
* log {{{$SAGE_ROOT}}} changes / movement (in a history file) for
debugging or even to get the previous one,
* perhaps log what changes {{{sage-location}}} made (to some file,
perhaps a summary on the screen),
* log the whole upgrade process as we do for builds / spkg installations
(I'd suggest {{{$SAGE_ROOT/upgrade.log}}}, but only after #10011 and
#10157 have been merged).
Do you still have the broken installation? If so, you could
{{{
#!sh
$ ls -rtl local/lib/*.la # see which were changed last / when
$ cat local/lib/libgmpxx.la # to see the wrong paths
}}}
(libtool's {{{.la}}} files are plain text files.
