In fact it must break the sage related code itself: see the section [SYMPOW Data set](https://gitlab.com/rezozer/forks/sympow#sympow-data-setup <https://gitlab.com/rezozer/forks/sympow#sympow-data-setup>) up for details. Otherwise, since it works on Debian, I guess it was fixed there. But I am not the one who did the fix. So you want to check the Debian patches. Feel free to send email to the Debian Sage Team: the person who did it may guide you.
