[Slackbuilds-users] [slackbuilds-users] sage-8.0 OPTIONALSPKG fails to find optional packages

[King Beowulf]

Sage is in 'pending' and I had thought that the previous maintainer had
worked this out.  My script-fu is still young so comments are welcome.

OPTIONALSPKG="database_gap" ./sage.SlackBuild

fails with

Error: could not find a package matching
database_gap............................4.8.6
       Try 'sage --package list' to see the available packages
       There is no package similar to
database_gap............................4.8.6
You can find further packages at http://files.sagemath.org/spkg/

./sage -optainal
./sage --package list

both show that 'database_gap' exists. Manually running

cd /tmp/SBo/sage-8.0
./sage -i database_gap

downloads and builds 'database_gap' as expected.  The slackbuild stanza

# install optional packages as defined by the OPTIONALSPKG flag
OPTIONALSPKG=${OPTIONALSPKG:-no}
if [ "$OPTIONALSPKG" != "no" ]; then
    for i in ${OPTIONALSPKG}; do
        ./sage -i $(./sage -optional | grep ${i})
    done
fi

looks goofy since

# ./sage -optional | grep database_gap
database_gap............................4.8.6 (4.8.6)

which does not exist (extra characters)!

We could use

# ./sage -package list | grep database_gap
database_gap

but isn't that overly complex when simply

./sage -i ${i}

is sufficient?
