Package: cantor-backend-sage Version: 4:16.08.3-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
SageMath has been in Debian for about a month now: https://packages.qa.debian.org/s/sagemath.html I just did a quick test and it seems not to work however, it detects the Sage version incorrectly and has trouble interfacing with it: $ cantor dir: "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/cantor/backends" Error while loading plugin: "."
