New description:
Linux Mint 11 fails to build python.
This is a known issue in #11243 on Ubuntu 11.04, and any derivatives such
as Mint 11 will suffer from this as well.
The package below applies the same patch on Linux Mint 11 as #11243 does
on Ubuntu 11.04.

No patches need to be applied to the Sage library - only the package
updated. The patches attached to the ticket are for review purposes only.

Comment:
egrep is not a POSIX command, but I think in this instance it is
acceptable to use it.
The use of 'grep -E' confirms to the latest POSIX, but would fail on
Solaris if someone has /usr/bin in their path before /usr/xpg4/bin. This
is because to maintain backwards compatibility with older Solaris
releases, whilst still conforming to the various POSIX versions, there are
two or sometimes three versions of some commands on Solaris.
More portable would be to split the two greps up, but I think that would
unnecessarily complicate things.
Positive review.
