This is a problem for system installs. e.g. on sage.math
{{{
$ sage -sh
$ sage-list-packages optional
Using SAGE Server http://www.sagemath.org//packages
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/share/sage-4.8/local/bin/sage-list-packages", line 21,
in <module>
os.makedirs(SAGE_ROOT_TMP)
File "/usr/local/share/sage-4.8/local/lib/python/os.py", line 157, in
makedirs
mkdir(name, mode)
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/share/sage-4.8/tmp'
SAGE_ROOT=/usr/local/share/sage-4.8
}}}
This causes the `optional_packages` function among others to fail.
