Well, if you remove gap-alnuth and gap-autpgrp, then it still report problems: yellowpig - /tmp%echo 'SaveWorkspace("./test.w");' | gap -q -b true true yellowpig - /tmp%echo '?FieldByMatricesNC;' | gap -q -b -L ./test.w #W corrupted 'manual.six': ##W (in stream: InputTextFile(/usr/share/gap/doc/t\ ut/manual.six)) #W corrupted 'manual.six': ##W (in stream: InputTextFile(/usr/share/gap/doc/c\ hanges/manual.six)) #W corrupted 'manual.six': ##W (in stream: InputTextFile(/usr/share/gap/pkg/G\ APDoc/example/manual.six)) Help: no matching entry found Also this seems to work with GAP 4.7.5 in jessie which has the same patch applied.
