> You don't understand the problem at all. Sage overrides the system
libreadline with an older version, one that lacks features that the system
shell requires. This is a problem that affects EVERY Linux distribution
that is not terribly outdated (if I would say "it doesn't build on
Ubuntu", you would probably suddenly take this seriously, but as long as
it works on Ubuntu, it can't be not broken, right? It's not Ubuntu, so I
have to keep repeating myself, until the problem eventually also affects
Ubuntu)
I suggest you do some homework on what operating systems I use, then you
might draw a different conclusion about me and Ubunta.
