[Debian-science-sagemath] Fwd: [GAP Forum] GAP 4.8.7 release announcement: fix compressed file reading

Tue Apr 4 19:17:00 UTC 2017

Hi, the bugfix mentioned below is just Debian bug #844789 that we eventually tracked down to workspace-loading issues and not compressed manual pages.

Our doctest failures are a separate issue, I'm not sure why they are still there. But I think we can ignore them, they are only some extra stderr output and does not affect the results of any calculations.
