Comment(by leif):
Replying to [comment:3 aapitzsch]:
> sage.supp is part of the optional valgrind package which BTW is out of
date.
Yes, but it's IMHO pointless to install an (almost always) obsolete spkg
just to get a file which consists of only a few lines. It should be part
of the standard distribution.
(More recent `valgrind` versions are either already installed or at least
available as a "native" package in any reasonable distro. Moreover, I
don't think one would ''only'' use it for Sage. Note also that usually
`valgrind` has to be updated each time new processor instructions / ISA
extensions come up.)
Not testing for its presence (btw. without any meaningful error message
from Sage's side) is certainly a bug.

I think so, but it should be kept up-to-date anyway.
