Description
When I updated to Ubuntu Artful Aardvark (17.10), I noticed that SageMath was uninstalled.
After following the tutorial http://www.sagemath.org/download-linux.html, I was able to add the repository:
sudo -E apt-add-repository -y ppa:aims/sagemath [sudo] password for rolandog: gpg: keybox '/tmp/tmpzk8nwevw/pubring.gpg' created gpg: /tmp/tmpzk8nwevw/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created gpg: key BDCB16CCBE796FF2: public key "Launchpad PPA for AIMS" imported gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: imported: 1 OK
However, upon executing the update command:
sudo -E apt-get update Err:18 http://ppa.launchpad.net/aims/sagemath/ubuntu artful Release 404 Not Found Reading package lists... Done N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386' E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/aims/sagemath/ubuntu artful Release' does not have a Release file. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
So, browsing the available dists, http://ppa.launchpad.net/aims/sagemath/ubuntu/dists/ I noticed they were quite out of date:
Index of /aims/sagemath/ubuntu/dists [ICO] Name Last modified Size Description [PARENTDIR] Parent Directory - [DIR] devel/ 2016-05-28 09:35 - [DIR] lucid/ 2012-02-28 20:41 - [DIR] maverick/ 2012-02-28 20:41 - [DIR] natty/ 2012-02-28 20:41 - [DIR] oneiric/ 2012-02-28 20:41 - [DIR] precise/ 2012-02-28 18:15 - [DIR] quantal/ 2012-11-17 07:20 - [DIR] raring/ 2013-05-06 11:41 - [DIR] saucy/ 2013-06-22 09:27 - [DIR] trusty/ 2017-01-30 07:19 - [DIR] utopic/ 2015-10-21 14:52 - [DIR] vivid/ 2016-05-28 08:55 - [DIR] wily/ 2016-05-28 08:55 - [DIR] xenial/ 2017-02-07 09:52 - [DIR] yakkety/ 2016-05-28 09:35 -
Upon visiting the AIMS https://launchpad.net/~aims launchpad landing page, sure enough, there is a notice that says:
AIMS-desktop is developed at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences - South Africa (http://www.aims.ac.za), a centre for education and research in Cape Town, South Africa, and the first centre in the AIMS network. The AIMS desktop PPAs listed here are deprecated. AIMS desktop is moving from an Ubuntu derivative to a Debian derivative. We expect to launch shortly after Debian Stretch is becomes the next stable release in 2017. Watch this space: https://desktop.aims.ac.za/ We hope to continue updating the Sagemath PPA for Ubuntu on a best-effort basis, but Sage is available in Debian stretch (December 2016), so will be in Ubuntu from 17.04, or you can (manually) install the binaries from http://www.sagemath.org/download.html
After browsing in the sage-devel mailing list, I found the following email https://groups.google.com/d/topic/sage-devel/NoyVpYdYRAM/discussion where it is mentioned that current packages are now located in https://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/math/ ... but, upon browsing it can be seen that sagemath isn't listed in https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/math/
So, I enabled the Zesty Universe packages, and was able to 'see' the sagemath package https://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/math/sagemath in Synaptic
However, upon attempting installation, I receive the following error message in Synaptic. The title of the warning says 'Could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade'. Followed by this description 'The following packages have unresolvable dependencies. Make sure that all required repositories are added and enabled in the preferences.'

After trying in a terminal, I receive a terser log:
sudo apt-get install sagemath

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
sagemath : Depends: libgsl2 but it is not installable
Depends: libsingular4-dev (< 1:4.1) but 1:4.1.0-p3+ds-2 is to be installed
Depends: python-cysignals-pari (>= 1.2.0+ds-2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: singular (< 1:4.1) but 1:4.1.0-p3+ds-2 is to be installed
Depends: singular-doc (< 1:4.1) but 1:4.1.0-p3+ds-2 is to be installed
Recommends: sagemath-doc-en but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: sagemath-jupyter but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: sagetex but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
This is where I hit a wall and don't know where to proceed. I could manually force a lower version for the singular packages, but I already have the libgsl23 library installed, and this library is used by many other packages that are currently installed.
Any suggestions or workarounds?

Should this be reported elsewhere, like in GSL https://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/ ?

Indeed the PPA is not maintained anymore since the AIMS, which maintained that, moved to Debian.
However, Ubuntu 18.04 ships Sage directly, so let me suggest to upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04.
On the Sage side, we will not do anything to fix this issue so i suggest to close it.

Hi Thierry,
It seems I may need assistance in closing the ticket.
These are the only fields I'm able to see in the Change Properties form:
Summary: Description: Type: Priority: Milestone: Component: Keywords: Cc: Merged in: Authors: Reviewers: Report Upstream: Work issues: Branch: Commit: Dependencies: Stopgaps:
And these are the only actions I'm able to perform at the Action form:
leave as positive_review needs info needs work resubmit to review assign to unassign accept
I tried accepting it, thinking it may grant me permission to close it (change the Resolution and Status fields), but it seems I don't have enough permissions: https://trac.sagemath.org/wiki/TracTickets#edit-permissions.

You are not supposed to close tickets, only the release manager is.
comment:9 Changed 3 years ago by
- Resolution set to invalid
- Status changed from positive_review to closed
Presuming these are all correctly reviewed as either duplicate, invalid, or wontfix.
Modified to major, since this basically means that users that upgraded to Ubuntu 17.10 can't install SageMath from the repository.
