Bug#931223: sagemath: sage test fails to test sagetex example_doctest.sage generated from sagetex example.tex

[Jerome Benoit]

Source: sagemath
Version: 8.6-6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

for the sake of curiosity, I have just tried to doctest the sage script generated
by SageTeX for the example.tex : the test reveals an issue with sage-runtests .
The issue can be reproduce as follows (when sagetex-doc is installed):

cd <A FOLDER>
cp -p /usr/share/doc/sagetex/examples/example.tex .
pdflatex example.tex
sage -t example_doctest.sage

The last command gives:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/sagemath/bin/sage-runtests", line 162, in <module>
		DC = DocTestController(options, args)
	File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/sage/doctest/control.py", line 357, in __init__
		for pkg in list_packages('optional', local=True).values():
	File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/sage/misc/package.py", line 228, in list_packages
		for p in os.listdir(SAGE_PKGS):
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/share/sagemath/build/pkgs'

As it does not look as a sagetex issue but rather as a sagemath issue, I submitted this issue
as sagemath bug.

Thanks,
Jerome
