New description:
As the summary says. The script sage-list-packages writes a temporary
file to
{{{
file = "%s/tmp/list"%SAGE_ROOT
}}}
This should use a temporary file instead.
----
Apply [attachment:trac_12018-tempfile.patch] OR
[attachment:trac12018-notempfile.patch] to the scripts repo.

Comment(by rohana):
I've added a patch that avoids the use of a tempfile and cleans up the
script (`os.path` should be used instead of string arithmetic).
