if you remove that data dir does it work fine? i started using ./sage -dist in order to remove all the extra stuff that isn't needed and also probably added that directory, if you remove the directory does it work fine

This is a pacman issue, in 5.4 the sage/data dir was replaced by a symlink to sage/local/share and pacman fails. In 5.4.1 the symlink doesn't exist, so this shouldn't be an issue anymore.
