Did you remove test.w before trying the tests? I think it is still somehow
autpgrp-related. Also the "corrupted" messages seem to be separate from the
actual failure of "no method found":
Without autpgrp:
| $ dpkg --get-selections | grep ^gap- | tr -s '\t' | cut -f1 | xargs echo
| gap-core gap-doc gap-gapdoc gap-libs gap-online-help
|
| $ rm -f test.w && echo 'SaveWorkspace("./test.w");' | gap -q -b && echo
'?SymmetricGroup;' | gap -q -b -L ./test.w
| true
| #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\
